asterisk users - Aug 2004 - zaptel configuration

Hi,
    I've been trying to get my zaptel x100p cards working for the past 
week now.  this is what I've done:

installed asterisk:
make clean
make linux 26 (for fedora core 2)
make install

installed zaptel:
make clean
make
make install

did a modprobe zaptel, and wcfxo
got this in /var/log/messages:
PCI: found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0f.0
wcfxo: daa mode is 'FCC'
found a wildcard fxo: wildcard x101p
...

in zaptel.conf:
fxsks=1-2

in zapata.conf:
signalling = fxs_ks
channel => 1
channel => 2

yet when i run asterisk, the zap show channels command doesn't work.  in 
a previous thread they mentioned this is because some chan_zap.so file 
isn't loaded because of the zaptel installation.  I was told I had to 
REINSTALL asterisk after the zaptel stuff, which again didn't do 
anything.  How can this be so hard to even get installed?

Thanks,
Imran

Assuming your zaptel.conf and zapata.conf files are correct, you should
have to issue a ztcfg -v. The output you see should match your
configuration.  In the future if you make changes to your
zap*.conf files, you need to stop asterisk, re-run ztcfg, then restart
askterisk. The reload command doesn't do anything with the zap*.conf files.

I hope this helps. This is first time helping on this list.


Thank you,

well Imran, I am not a guru of Asterisk, but I think my suggestions
might work,

first, this should have been done with Zaptel, not asterisk
install Zaptel, like this:
make clean
make linux26 (if kernel version is 2.6 or above, else do 'make' only)
make install

and, this should have been done for Asterisk
i.e. install Asterisk, like:
make clean
make
make install
> installed zaptel:
> make clean
> make
> make install
then do 'modprobe's', 
'ztcfg -vvvvv', and then do 
'asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvc'
then check for errors, if any
