This is not true, since analog DID trunks do exist.

Actually with DID, you'd just program the dialplan the same as for a 
PRI, since the variables for DID should be the same regardless of which 
channel type/technology the call comes in on. (You wouldn't tie Zap FXO 
channels directly to extensions unless using non-DID POTS lines where 
each has only one number, which doesn't sound like what you are wanting 
to do.)
