disabling modules at boot time

Good idea except when the original modprobe could cause a lockup of
the box.... I was hoping there was a clean way of preventing a module
from loading at startup via modprobe but then later being able to
modprobe the module.
My solution is to add this to /etc/modprobe.conf
alias wct4xxp off
alias zaptel off
And when I need them:
/sbin/modprobe crc_ccitt
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc/zaptel.ko
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc/wct4xxp/wct4xxp.ko
Not clean at all and more of a hack. There should be SOME way of
delaying loading of modules at powerup time.
