asterisk users - Jun 2003 - Newbie help getting started

I'm running Redhat version 9 with a TDM400P and AVM B4 ISDN2 card.
 
I am assuming the first step to get * working is to get a tone from the
fxo ports, having looked and played with both the zapata and zaptel
files, I still can't get anything.on the ports.
 
When starting asterisk -vvvgc it does not appear to be loading Zapata
file.
 
Any guidance for a newbie would be greatly appreciated.

Correct me if I am wrong, as I am a newbie too.

When I installed my first * box, the kernel modules weren't loading at boot.
This may be your problem. So how I made the sample configs and it install a file
zaptel into my /etc/sysconfig folder. It also installed an rc script for boot.
Remember to backup you base line. Also had to change the order in which modules
for * started to make sure the correct channel order was in place.

Hope this helps, if it doesn't please ignore.
Matt
