First, please don't cross post across mailing lists. The asterisk-users
mailing list is an appropriate place for questions about Asterisk
deployment; the asterisk-dev mailing list is appropriate for questions
regarding development, i.e., code. As many people subscribe to both lists,
cross posting is not necessary. Since this is a question about deployment,
it is appropriate for the asterisk-users mailing list, and not the
asterisk-dev list.

Second, there is not a canonical list of 'required' modules for Asterisk.
You can run Asterisk without any of the loadable modules and it will
technically function, although it obviously won't do much. What modules you
need is determined by your deployment - which includes both the channel
technologies you want to use, as well as your dialplan. That isn't
something anyone can answer for you.

You can, however, use menuselect to help determine what module dependencies
need to be fulfilled. Beyond that, you should look at what applications and
functions a module provides to determine if you need it. Asterisk: The
Definitive Guide has some excellent information in Chapter 2.
