Essentially, when emerging zaptel 1.2.5 the hardware is not accessible from asterisk. The problem was clearly a permissions issue with the devices (udev). I added the user "asterisk" to the "dialout" group and problem solved - should be fixed in the ebuild I would imagine. Here's my system basics: Portage 2203-svn (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r3 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"

1.2.5 is no longer in the tree and the error seems to be solved in newer versions.
