As far as the Sangoma and the OS, it appears to be possible (and pretty 
straightforward) to mix voice & data. I've installed their drivers and 
went through their ncurses config tool and it's pretty nice (I did this 
without a card installed).

  The part I don't fully understand is the provisioning of the line itself.
