I think you need to add the following lines of code:

\setupencoding[default=ec]
\usetypescript [serif] [times]     [\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript [sans]  [helvetica] [\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript [mono]  [courier]   [\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript [berry] [\defaultencoding]

These map Times-Roman to utmr etc., which hopefully are on your
installation. If they are not, you should have ptmr etc., but that
would require a modified version of these typescripts.

Alternatively, you can use the following lines of code, which achieve
the same thing:

\usetypescript[postscript] [ec]
\usetypescript[berry][ec]
\switchtotypeface [postscript][rm]

I think running Red Hat 8.0, with teTeX-1.0.7 with ConTeXt ver:
2002.1.28 is a reasonable thing to do. Most of the software packages I
run are older than that. One only runs the latest and greatest of
software one is especially interested in.
