asterisk users - Jun 2005 - Problems with zaptel and voice prompts/voicemail

I've looked all around, and I can't find an answer to this.  I  
apologize if this has been discussed already or is buried somewhere  
in voip-info.org.

I have an asterisk setup on linux 2.6.11.11 kernel, a revision E/F  
TDM400P, and Polycom IP501 phones.  As soon as I load the zaptel  
module into the kernel, the voice prompts and voicemail system ceases  
to work.  The asterisk logs say that the gsm files are being played,  
but nothing comes out on the other end.  This is for both calls  
coming in via our VoicePulse Connect lines, or when dialing locally  
from our SIP phones.  As soon as I rmmod the zaptel driver, asterisk  
acts just fine.

Thanks for any assistance the list may be able to provide.

I claim to be NO expert, but is there a chance that the 'ztdummy' driver
is
also being loaded? I'm thinking it might cause a timing conflict of some
kind...I may be way off here, but I'd still check for something as simple as
that...

This seems to be due to a driver conflict.  If I unload Zaptel, the
sound returns.

I'm having the same issue with a 2.4 kernel on whitebox 3 using HEAD.

Still investigating... let me know if you find anything new.
