Hello!

Thanks for packaging Asterisk and related packages
for Debian. 

One comment though: 
For the beginner starting out it is really hard to
find out what packages exactly are needed, what
patches have been applied etc.

I wanted to use a NT-Mode driver for hfs-pci cards,
and it took me quite some time to figure out that
basically all of bristuff is already packaged for
Debian, and in which packages.

IMHO there should be a short description of all
the applied patches and related packages in 
README.Debian.


To my question:

How do I correctly compile the zaptel modules
from zaptel-source?

When I try to "make" it from /usr/src/modules/zaptel
(with stock 2.6.10 kernel.org sources in /usr/src/linux)
I get 

cc -c ztspeed.c
cc -o ztspeed ztspeed.o
cc -I. -O4 -g -Wall -DBUILDING_TONEZONE    -DSTANDALONE_ZAPATA
-DZAPTEL_CONFIG=\"/etc/zaptel.conf\"    zttest.c   -o zttest
make -C  SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/zaptel modules
make: *** SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/zaptel: No such file or directory.
Stop.
make: *** [linux26] Error 2


Any hints?

TIA
