Thanks for the info.

I have done my best to explain all this to the people at Sangoma in
the hope that they will step forward and help you out with this. They
did tell me that they are going to support hardware HDLC without
patching zaptel which may improve things.

One more thing that seems to be confusing me is that the Debian Linux
kernel images already contain a file called wanrouter.ko?
