[asterisk-users] Getting started with sample dial plans

Okay, I have Asterisk up and running on Fedora Core 5 with a TDM400 
board with one FXO and FXS module.  Zap is up and running and * is 
functioning with the modules.  Oh yeah, and I have some soft phones 
configured and have them working as well.

Now I'm ready to begin playing with dial plans and am having a difficult 
time getting started.

I'm looking for some simple samples that might demonstrate basic 
functionality such as running the "inside" phone extension when an 
incoming call is received.  Or, a simple "Dial 9 for an outside line" 
plan where whatever number is dialed (after the 9) is simply dialed via 
the Zap Line.

In other words, something that makes * nearly transparent to begin with.

Then, I'd like to slowly add to the dial plan as I learn more of the 
commands.

I have not found any good samples of dial plans (other than the defaults 
  built with *) that demonstrate basics like this.

Are there some online references I could work through?

I've been to Asterisk.com and their respective documentation, and 
Asteriskguru.com and not found what I'm looking for (maybe I overlooked 
it?).

Any guidance is sincerely appreciated.
