Google and the wiki are your friends.
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+fxotune
"Using Fxotune:  You need to train fxotune once using fxotune -i, see
more below about that. The training will create the file
/etc/fxotune.conf . In order to apply the same tuning next time, you
need to run: fxotune -s"

When you load wctdm, it will also load zaptel.

The first part of your question is yes and no.  With patches or
additional drivers, zaptel works with other cards (such as Sangoma and
various BRI cards).  I think Dialogic may be supported now but I am
not sure, maybe in ABE, again I am not sure.

I am not sure if I understand the last part of your question.  I think
just about any card should work for you provided it has drivers for
Asterisk.
