Olle had a script for testing SIP which involved bouncing a call  
between the
dialplans of 2 systems 'one' and 'two', incrementing the extension  
number.
You could use a similar thing for ZAP, something like:

;extensions.conf on one
[bounce]
exten => _[0-5][0-9],1,dial(zap/g1/{$EXTEN})

;extensions.conf on two
[increment]
exten => _[0-5][0-9],1,dial(zap/G1/{$EXTEN}+1)
exten => 60,dial(sip/SecondPhone)

So you place a call to one, extension 00 from a sip phone,
it calls two on extension 00, which calls 01 on one etc untill you have
all 120 channels tied up, finally placing the call to your second SIP  
phone.

The great thing about this is :
	1) you get to hear the audio quality of 120 calls at the same time.
	2) the call setup/teardown all happens at once, stress testing the  
link pretty
effectively.
