I haven't heard of someone doing NMS support for *. If NMS have Linux 
drivers this week (their Linux support seems to appear and disappear at 
random) you should look in the channnels directory. You would need to 
build a chan_nms, rather like the chan_zap, and 
chan_various_other_things you will find in the channels directory. These 
are the modules which interface the * code to actual telecoms pathways.
