I am sure someone will correct me if I am worng, but I 
just looked on Digium's sit to verify, and the Green 
moduls are FXS modules for connecting analog phone sets. 
NOT to connect to the PSTN. For the PSTN you would need 
the FXO module which is red.

Hopefully you have not had any incoming calls, as that 
will blow up the FXS module and make it unusable!!!!

You configs above regarding signalling would be correct IF 
you had the FXO module and not the FXS module.
