I'll answer the easy parts for you. Unless you wish to use a soundcard
as a console device on asterisk, not loading the chan_oss will be fine.
As for IAX2, unless you are connecting to another asterisk box with
IAX2, it is okay to not load it as well. Just try to remember to look
there if you ever do want to connect multiple asterisk boxes together.

Now for the harder part. When you call you asterisk machine, do you see
any indications in the asterisk console that it received a call? I ask
this since asterisk could return a busy tone to you if it was unable to
complete the call to the S100U. Have you tried getting the the call into
the X100P to go to some voice prompts to verify this one piece.
