An update...  I added an analogue FXO card to this Asterisk server, and
calls coming in on the Zap channels are able to be transferred to the
conference.  However, they do not hear MOH at all (in the conference or
otherwise).  

I have to be missing something.  Hopefully it is obvious to one of you,
because it is obviously escaping me.  ;-)
