Which distro are you using?  If you're using a Red Hat-type distro 
(including CentOS and Fedora), /etc/modprobe.conf is the place to put 
it.  A line like this ought to work:

install wctdm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wctdm opermode=AUSTRALIA 
fxshonormode=1 && /sbin/ztcfg

On a Debian-based system (including Ubuntu), /etc/modprobe.d/options is 
the file to use:

options wctdm opermode=AUSTRALIA fxshonormode=1

I'm not sure if fxshonormode is necessary for Australia, but I need to 
use it with my modified Zaptel that has some extra US modes with oddball 
ring frequencies, due to having an old phone with a 30 Hz 
frequency-selective ringer.  There is also a "boostringer" option that 
brings the ring voltage up to 89 V, which I also need for this old phone.
