+The dahdi drivers and binaries are needed to use popular digital and
+analogue telephony equipment and are typically installed alongside the
+asterisk PBX (although these are not required for asterisk if you are
+not using any hardware to interface with the POTS/PSTN system). Note
+that if you change your kernel after installing any dahdi components,
+you'll have to re-compile dahdi-linux (a simple re-install will not
