It turns out that (for me) the "modprobe ztdummy" alone works as well. I do get an error message as shown before, but both ztummy and zaptel get loaded and Meetme() works. The 15 seconds delay would add to the boot time.... I also tried the suggestion of Eric Wieling. Appearantly make config is what I had not done. This creates the needed module load scripts. The module remove scripts do not work properly, but who cares if the machine is going down anyway? > > Things will differ depending on your distribution, but that should be > enough to get you going in the right direction. Yep it did :-)
