[Asterisk-Users] Which application to open Zap channel?

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

I don't know for sure, but I can make a few guesses.

Dial(Zap/X) would be used if you are dialing an FXS port, since these 
ports don't normally require digits to be sent.

Dial(Zap/X/) would be used if you are dialing an FXO port, since these 
ports almost always require digits to be dialed.  In this example you 
are dialing "no digits".
