I know why they did it, but I am used to Fedora putting in conf files when they don't already exists and having rpmnew or rpmsave files around. I realize with asterisk its a bit trickier, because there probably isn't a good default configuration. I was able to figure out what to do, because I had done a source install previously and knew where to look for stuff. > Start the asterisk service > # service asterisk start > > If all went well you can start a remote Asterisk console > # asterisk -r I also changed my asterisk init file to not use safe_asterisk as that uses the -c option which doesn't play very nice with the service commands. If I want a console after starting it I can used asterisk -r as you mention. Maybe someday Digium will try to get the various zaptel drivers into the mainline kernel so we don't need to rebuild the zaptel modules after every kernel upgrade.
