First things first: FXS ports use FXO signalling.

You won't get dialtone until Asterisk properly configured and running; it's 
what generates the dialtone.

No, it is set up as FXS, but remember that FXS ports use FXO signalling.

out of curiousity, why did you choose an Adit600+T1 card for three FXS ports?  
The TDM400P works great for FXS.
