Dear Stuart, Interesting. Thank you for the link! I, however, do not think I have the resource to get it to work on OpenBSD currently.

Have yourself connected to the phone world by some Provider. You can get voice traffic out of some mobile devices, there is http://wiki.e1550.mobi/doku.php?id=introduction which is a module for asterisk (and then you could use a softphone like baresip on the same machine). No idea what is required to get it to work on OpenBSD though.
