Thank you for your response.  It's a big help to know where _not_ to 
look.  It turns out that the answer was right in front of me:

The system was purchased with the Digium card already installed; I assumed 
it was installed correctly.  And I had no documentation to go with it, so I 
had no idea that FXS was never going to work without a 12v source connected 
to the card.  (It makes sense, of course, but I never thought about it.)

So the answer was:  If all else fails, plug it in. :-)
