If you say "usual": it's *usual* to read a few articles before writing
your own, to see what's "usual" for a given group.

You're welcome to make sure that the distribution of such a group is
appropriate.  As long as that cannot be guaranteed, we will stay with 
what we have.  Remeber, this is de.*ALT*.comm.mgetty, so the rules are
*DIFFERENT*.

People ask all the time whether they should isdn4linux for ISDN Terminal
Adaptors or not... - as for using the i4l tools, well, as long as the
Speed Dragon doesn't provide the proper voice commands, it won't work,
neither will vgetty.

Well, maybe not the latter, but definitely the former.  There is no CAPI
support in vgetty.  Adding one would require writing a low-level driver
for the Speed Dragon which provides the interal vgetty API on top of
this "AT-command-CAPI". 

It is definitely possible, but much work.
