There is somtehing realy similar to what you describe out there: isdn4bsd 
(http://www.hcs.de/users/hm/isdn4bsd/i4b-main.html) has a special version 
(the isppp driver) of some sync stuff from FreeBSD. The original version 
could talk Cisco HDLC, not sure this is still working in the ISDN version.

Anyway, splitting off the common parts would be a real benefit for all 
sides.
