It doesn't work on a system that doesn't have a zaptel driver installed. 
If you don't have any zaptel hardware, you can compile a dummy zaptel 
driver which will let you do conferencing.

Download the zaptel module from ftp.asterisk.org (or cvs.digium.org). 
Edit the Makefile - uncomment the ztdummy.o part in the MODULES line by 
removing the hash in front of it.

make clean && make install the zaptel driver.

You might need to make sure you have the appropriate stuff in your 
kernel, such as the USB UHCI support (not the alternative JE version).

depmod -a should give no unresolved symbols.

Install the ztdummy module with modprobe ztdummy. You can check it all 
worked by going lsmod.

HTH,
