I am working with some guys who are porting zaptel to Solaris. They have the 
basic stuff working, but we are wondering about "best practices" for 
something...

IN LINUX: after compiling the kernel modules to match your kernel, it installs 
an init script, config files and /etc/sysconfig/zaptel. When the system boots, 
/etc/init.d/zaptel reads /etc/sysconfig/zaptel to get a list of modules to load 
(base, dummy, tdm card, t1 card, quad t1 card, etc etc etc). Ideally you 
shouldn't just blindly load every module, so you customize that file to only 
load the modules you need. Also, /etc/modules.conf causes the system to run 
/usr/sbin/ztcfg upon loading the module.

IN SOLARIS: 
- should we install the kernel modules into /kernel/drv (or somewhere under 
/opt)
- should we use SMF to load the modules (maybe using /etc/default/zaptel ?) and 
run ztcfg?
- is using forceload in /etc/system discouraged for this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance,
Tommy
