It could be. But right now minicom is the only confirmed way to access the telephony chip.
Well not the only way, GTA04 mentioned a fully realized dialing software in that other thread. GTA04 has made hardware for other opensourced phone devices and they're using opensource software.. trying to find his post, but software does exist that could most likely easily be ported over.
Serial interfaces are really not that complex, Not to mention just on a simple google search there seems to be plenty of easy APIs for handling sending AT commands to a cell modem.

That's a solution written in python, but it wouldn't be hard for even an experienced programmer to create an interface in any language.
