Nope... but it would be a better idea to have a CAPI layer. This is a
common interface. All development for i4b has been stopped a long time
ago, so maybe you are a volounteer for a C4B port to NetBSD?

It would be a good step to get that channel protocols extracted from i4b
and integrated to C4B, the hardware layer itself is not a so complicated
thing. If we do so, we have a complete CAPI aware subsystem. We can port
those LINUX stuff in a quick way and do not need to make everything by
our own. We are years behind those penguin implementation and if we do
not think about going CAPI, ISDN will be a dead technologie before we
have more than 3 applications running.
