I did, sorry for that.

For the ARM this would be definitely a good solution. For the 8-bit AVR 
this may not work because of performance reasons. The original intention 
for the specific AHDLC driver was to allow the ATmega128 to transfer MP3 
audio streams on a standard analog telephone line.

If you shrink away from modifying the Nut Configuration Files, I can do 
this for you. This way we can continue to use the existing 
implementation for the AVR and offer the generic one for all other 
platforms.
