try this:

[extensions]
; define your extensions here
exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/1234)  ; John Doe's extension
exten => 5678,1,Dial(SIP/5678)  ; Jane Doe's extension

[incoming]
; inbound calls end up here
include => extensions
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Playback(greeting)
:
:

[internal]
; define your internal ppl to this context
include => extensions
exten => _9.,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN:1})
