[Asterisk-bsd] BSD licensed zaptel drivers for BSD?

Drivers could be shipped with the os, yes.  So long as the software 
talking to the drivers finds the interface(s) it needs.  Maybe someone 
will implement a BSD licensed asterisk.  *shrug*.  I've been given some 
hardware, and I'd like to use it, but GPL drivers in a BSD kernel is not 
my preferred mode of operation.

Did you say you knew where some hardware documentation is?
