The hardware is there. Not optimal, but then again, "you get what you
paid for":
many computers have a modem. This is the basic hardware needed for an
FXO adapter.

Writing decent drivers for it (for Zaptel or whatever channel driver) is
not trivial. Maybe even getting the specs for the hardware is not
trivial. But this is how the first FXO card for Asterisk was written.

Now you actually have drivers (of other OSes) for other hardware types.
So you basically have the specs. Thus if nobody writes this it probably
means nobody needs this bad enough.

(And please don't reply that *you* need it or that you know someone who
needs it. Reply by coming up with the drivers and proving all of us 
nay-sayers wrong)
