FWIW, I've been running asterisk on a RHv9 laptop (for client demo 
purposes), connecting it via iax to our office system, and never
worried about ztdummy, etc. Obviously, the laptop has no zap cards.
This demo never includes meetme, etc.

I also have a backup system (to our office system) running RHv9, and
it connects and functions just fine to the primary office system
via iax. Sip phones work fine on this backup system as well.

That backup system was just recently replaced with an FC3 system, and
I have no doubt whatsoever it will function just fine without zap
cards although that system has not yet been configured or tested.

So, don't be too concerned with making ztdummy (etc) function unless
you truly want to support those asterisk apps that need it (eg, meetme
and whatever else the wiki points out).
