Wow!  Somebody out there actually understands this concept!!!  One thing
for sure is it is a totally alien way of thinking to the pointy-clicky
crowd.

First off there is no need for a fossil driver but I am not sure about the
Linux version of bink.  However binkd should work fine once you have your
connection established with the network to the outside world, in your case
ppp, so providing drivers for that would only serve to complicate things. 
If you want your machine to answer a ring then you either have to provide a
ppp login or use something like a frontend mailer that can exit with an
errorcode dependent on the incoming call (voice or data).  In other words
there is no or little difference except that Linux natively provides a
whole slew of networking options to you and all that needs to be
established is you setting them up to work for your needs.  Serial stuff
for the mostpart.

I think that was my point as well.

Life is good,
