Note that on Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS systems, both Asterisk and Zaptel 
will install startup scripts by using "make config".

You will then need to run:

	chkconfig zaptel on
	chkconfig asterisk on

to make sure that the scripts get run at bootup.

The Red Hat-style init script will run "safe_asterisk" which will 
restart Asterisk if it dies.
