I'd just like to chime in here, and say that at least myself, and one more person on this list are still using a DoubleTalk PC card (dtlk driver). While I understand the two of us are in the minority, it would be appreciated if these cards could be made to work once again with newer kernels. Unfortunately, shipping a PC within the U.S. is quite expensive, never mind shipping one from the U.S. to the U.K. Since this hardware is also rare as Samuel points out, I admit parting with that machine to ship it would be a last resort option for me. Getting into linux development is on my to do list, so maybe I'll resolve this myself one day if I'm still using the DoubleTalk card by that time.
