Even if you get it working the reward is not worth the effort.
You would experience a lot of echo and other problems and the time you spent working on it would
be better spent doing something more meaningful and using the money you received to buy a real TDM card or
better still, a FXO->SIP ATA.

What do you mean?  Anything that is zaptel compatible will work with

Sorry: I mean that Zaptel doesn't work on softmodems, just Digium and
Digium-compatible telephony cards. I don't see why softmodems couldn't
handle the load of a single landline.

For instance, "U.S. Robotics USR5670 56Kbps PCI Bus (Plug & Play) Fax modem"
sells for $17:

Or maybe the hardware out there is just too diverse that writing a driver
for this is a PITA?
