All, I just put FC3 (fedora core 3) on my machine. It uses udev. I looked at the README.udev in zaptel and put those lines in the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules file. I rebooted just for grins and I still am getting the message: Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf line 147: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl' What am I missing with the udev setup??? Thanks so much. Jerry
