OK, but there is the basis for something interesting here. If there's
sufficient documentation to expose the hardware functionality then the
device could be a suitable platform. That implies a certain level of
cooperation from the manufacturer. 

It might be a lot of work, but that just means that someone with the
right skillset and determination would need to be the project lead.

Or it could end up lame or incomplete, like most of the soft phones
that I've tried.
