I've found http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/ project (suggested in Documentation/isdn/README.gigaset).

It seems OpenBSD has ldattach(8): Technically attaching a line discipline to a tty means that a process must open(2) a tty device.,attach the line discipline using an ioctl(2) call and then keep the file descriptor open for the rest of the time. http://opengrok.creo.hu/openbsd/xref/src/sbin/ldattach/ldattach.c You need something like this, right?
