The udev stuff gets done correctly. The reason the samples are not installed in /etc/asterisk but in /etc/asterisk-1.2.7.1_samples is to prevent your existing config from being overwritten. This is also the case for /etc/zaptel.conf and /etc/sysconfig/zaptel. Better safe than sorry. After installing the rpms you need to do the following to get Asterisk going (as root): Copy /etc/zaptel.conf.sample to /etc/zaptel.conf and configure it # cp /etc/zaptel.conf.sample /etc/zaptel.conf [configure /etc/zaptel.conf] Copy /etc/sysconfig/zaptel.sample to /etc/sysconfig/zaptel and change the settings to your liking # cp etc/sysconfig/zaptel.sample /etc/sysconfig/zaptel.sample [configure /etc/sysconfig/zaptel] If you want to use the samples, copy /etc/asterisk-1.2.7.1_samples to /etc/asterisk # cp -prv /etc/asterisk-1.2.7.1_samples /etc/asterisk Start the zaptel service # service zaptel start Start the asterisk service # service asterisk start If all went well you can start a remote Asterisk console # asterisk -r Regards, Patrick
