That's not entirely correct. The Zaptel drivers work on LinuxPPC. Further, there is some work in progress on Zaptel drivers for BSD and some folks use X100P and TDM400 on FreeBSD already. Since OSX is BSD based, it will eventually benefit from the work done to bring Zaptel to BSD. We have made an Xserve available for Rich Murphey, one of the main contributors to the Asterisk on BSD effort, specifically for him to test things on OSX. What's needed is more contributors to the BSD effort, or so it would seem. Since driver development requires skills that are less common than those required for many other development tasks, there are fewer people who can do it. It also takes more time to move drivers from one platform to another. I think a sponsorship fund could do some good because it might give somebody the ability to work fulltime on drivers for BSD in general and OSX in particular. I believe that it should be possible to raise significant sponsorship funds for drivers (especially for OSX) from end user donations alone. In order to do that, a few people need to come together, think about how to organise this, set up a website, open a kagi and/or paypal account and get the word out. I am discussing this idea at present with some Mac folks who seem to be willing to put a bit of time and effort into this.
