You don't need to load Zaptel if your not going to run any cards but if 
your going to use IAX and/or meetme you will need some form of timming 
and that comes from zaptel if you have hardware installed or ztdummy if 
you don't have any hardware installed.

ztdummy is a Linux kernel module that will provide your Asterisk with a 
Zaptel timer even if you haven't got any Digium hardware installed in 
your Linux server.
