A couple things:

For * to talk back to you, like voicemail, prompts etc, I think it needs
a timing device.

So you need to compile ztdummy or another similar device.
Here is the wiki link on the timer stuff:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20timer%20ztdummy

Also, for debian users here is what I do to avoid a kernel recompile:

apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-686
cd /usr/src
ln -s kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-686 linux
ln -s kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-686 linux-2.6

Of course reboot to get on the new kernel (2.6.8)
Do the cvs download or tar ball install.

Compile your zap stuff
update-modules

Compile your asterisk and install and your are up.

Just my two cents...
