The problem I see with this: only syncppp and hdlc protocols can be used on those devices this way. The comx drivers support lapb thru the lapb stack, and they have a minimal frame relay support too. This would mean that different protocols need different initialization stuff, etc... which would make quite a mess, unless all the possible sync serial protocols are integrated into the syncppp driver... So I don't think this is a good idea.
