Not an answer to your question, but why not externalize the telephony
interface with a SIP converter (like Patton SmartNodes or whatever you
trust (e.g. Positron sells PCI cards that should do the trick if you want

A reasonable question.  I am presently communicating with this box using a
SIP trunk;  We just want to be able to use Copper for those occasions when
our Internet provider is down.
