as a follow-up to my own question, Dialogic will not support FreeBSD publicly. I did, however, talk to an engineer who had done it by porting the SCO install program. Dialogic only supplies binaries, not source, for UNIX machines. HOWEVER, they DO claim to provide Borland C source for DOS, and I'm a-thinkin' we can easily hack from there, inasmuch as the main processor doesn't do much work. For those of you who don't know, Dialogic D/21H boards are 'Computer Telephony' boards for use in voicemail and telemarketing systems. They also have voice recognition and Text-to-Speech capability. They use a memory-mapped dual port RAM to talk to an onboard Intel 80188 microcontroller which controls a Motorola 56001 DSP. Most of the code will be prepackaged modules for the DSP and the '188, so our code will be mostly a code loader. The D/21H is a $500 board, so this is not for everyone, but linking voice with web and data servers gives rise to a lot of neato stuff.
