/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

[rajiv at alum.mit.edu (Rajiv Aaron Manglani)]

on my asterisk system (running gentoo) i have an /etc/init.d/modules  
which loads zaptel, wcfxo, wcfxs early in the boot process. i also  
have /etc/init.d/zaptel which starts before asterisk and runs ztcfg  
and creates the device nodes if necessary.

what distro are you running?
