I usually have a simple outbound context

[outbound]
exten => _9X.,1,Dial(Zap/g0/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _9X.,n,Congestion()
exten => _9X.,n,Hangup()

Be warned that the above dialplan will allow calls with anykind of
numbers (even international). So be sure to pattern match depending of
where the calls should go.

Don't forget to include the [outbound] context in whatever context
your SIP extention is in.
