The cnews upgrade in bo is dangerous if you do not back up your
/var/lib/news directory first! It will leave SOME of your configuration
files but will overwrite others with the default cnews files.
Files that get changed are (at least) sys, batchparms, mailpaths.
It seems to leave explist alone.
There's a package called 'kernel-package' that has Debian Linux kernel package
build scripts in it. You can find kernel-package from section misc. Note that
there might be a newer version in unstable than stable.
I'm attaching a previous mail from debian-user about the same question.

Anyone succeed in getting the Zoom/ComStar 28.8 so-called PnP modem
to work with Linux? (Model #620) This modem insists you use the
"plug-n-play" feature, as it does not have any jumpers you can use to
bypass it.
Under NT, I had to actually run a dos program called "setmodem",

You do not need CAPI for using your ZyXel with linux.
Just use the tty like for normal modems.
You may use e.g. ppp this way.
