Hmmm.  Maybe I have to disappoint you here - I didn't do any work on
vgetty.  I did mgetty, but I have NO idea about voice, and the mgetty
documentation clearly states so.  Klaus, Marc and Marc did all the vgetty
work.

I'd use the vm shell interface - use vm for the modem driver, and just
write a highlevel interface for that.

A perl library exists (modem::voice), a C library would certainly be
doable.

(For further questions, please contact the mgetty mailing list, not me -
that's mgetty@muc.de).
