[Asterisk-Users] T100P / ZAP / PRI errors

[willy at yponeinc.com]

Now you've got me utterly confused ...
So, in layman's terms, if I connect a T100P to a circuit
provided by the Telco, and the Telco says that they will
provide timing, I have to put WHAT?
span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs,yellow 
this means '0' this span is not a sync source, i.e. the
Telco will provide my 8kHz.  Could one use '2' with impunity
(span=1,2,0,...)? I am still not clear under which
circumstances one should use '0' versus '2'.
