For starters, an old fashioned cassette player that holds the button in with auto reverse will do, since when the power is out it will still play it. Connect that to an ATA (radio shack sells a plug that will connect to a phone line and take the input of a regular headphone jack to the phone line). Take any ata and configure it as a hotline, put the cassette player with a regulare analog phone on the port of the ata, make sure the phone is off hook, so that the ata makes the hot line call, and viola you are in asterisk. Of course other ways to do it is: to use an external pager (bogan makes one), that allows external MOH, and that uses a FXO port that you make sure asterisk always keeps off hook.
