I'm not enough of a low-level coder to do this, but I suspect that
someone could write drivers to sit atop the Natural Microsystems
boards, and provide an AT/serial port interface to the operating
system.

Information pointing in this direction can probably be found at
www.opentelecom.org, a site supporting a project to provide open
drivers and such for the NMS boards (and other manufacturers, as time
progresses -- although Dialogic probably won't be included, as they've
just been bought out by Microsoft).

I'd sincerely like to see this happen; I just ain't found a customer to
pay for the development yet.

Cheers,
