It will soon.  Not sure about GPL or Asterisk inclusion.  Digium
seemed less than interested but Callweaver has some interest.  If no
project about it, then I will contact you offlist when it is ready.

I can probably help you out there.  VCX or NBX V3000 with R6 software
should send the 3Com phone a SIP firmware when you power it up on a
network with one of those PBXes.  Maybe we can do a VPN or I can put a
V3000 directly on the interweb for a bit.
