Many ATA's (like the Linksys one we use with Vonage) are little embedded boxes, sometimes with a built-in router or other hardware, but they also make them as PC peripherals. This is what he is referring to. Usually they show up as sound cards, though I assume they have extra ioctl's or whatever for dealing with things like detecting off-hook status, etc. My only ATA experience with Linux was with PCI and ISA cards, which did have drivers.
