How about some nice external fax modems, that run over nice standard
serial lines, that aren't so entirely incompatible with each different
type of computer that you might want to plug it in to.  Then you
don't need a kernel device driver, just use the tty driver and some
user software.

I understand that Fujitsu makes an external FaxModem, is it the DeX?  Was
it Driver Design Labs in British Columbia that had the software for it?
I'm sure there are others.
