I don't know if you're making something GS-specific, but yesterday I
posted a driver to comp.binaries.apple2 for the Apple Super Serial
Card that runs under ProDOS 8.  It's part of a system I'm working on
(how many others are also working on telecomm programs? :-) ) that
will be user-extensible.  I intend to write a double-Hi-Res-based ANSI
terminal emulator (IBM graphics included) and a full ZMODEM, both of
which will be modules that will work with the above-mentioned SSC
driver through a kernel that I'll also have to write.  I can write
stuff that will run on 8-bit machines, but support for GS features
such as the GS modem port and super-Hi-Res display would have to be
left to someone else to write.
