It's not necessary to recompile the kernel for mISDN support. Check
http://www.laimbock.com/asterisk/

Grab the mISDN source rpm, and build it.

$ wget 
http://www.xs4all.nl/~pjl/downloads/asterisk/srpms/mISDN-cvs20061107-2_fc6.lc.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild --rebuild mISDN-cvs20061107-2_fc6.lc.src.rpm

then check /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
You should have the kernel modules and userspace applications. Once
installed, I could enable chan_misdn in asterisk 1.4 without issue,
and it's working great in NT mode with ISDN phones. I haven't tested
asterisk 1.2, but there is no it shouldn't work as well.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at it. The main reason for me to use
bristuff is that i don't want to mess mess around downloading and
compiling my own kernels. I am just running CentOS 4 boxes with stock
CentOS 4 kernels. Everytime I was screwing around with making my own
kernels sooner or later I got bitten by screwing up the installation of
the kernel and the box wouldn't boot anymore. :)

On the wiki I found the manual from BeroNet which looks pretty
straightforward but is for Asterisk 1.2

Any differences for Asterisk 1.4?

Thanks!!
