Back in the day when dial-up modems were a "significant" market, the concept of "WinModems" came around. Minimum hardware, maximum software. If the sensor is good enough to actually work though, it probably won't be long before an agent can implement the driver, if it can't already.

Ugh - thanks for that memory. Worked tech support for Microsoft at that time - we’d try but often the recommendation was to buy a real modem (“But it’s so much more expensive!” - “Yes, but it works….”)
