Blender has a game engine, is free, and supposedly has a PS2 port or NaN, people who make Blender, have a PS2 toolkit. Try them. Also Blender has ports to just about every platform there is. Linux, BeOS, Windows, etc. That would at least give you a toolkit to start with and there is a huge Blender community.

What about Java for your "universal" language? For most of the OS's you can get a Java enviroment. And with those enviroments you can do all those Windows, buttons, comboboxes, etc in the native GUI (AWT). There are Development Kits for MOST of the OS platforms out there and many of them are free; you just have to download them, maybe register. Not to mention that for the most part you application is all ready cross-platform straight out of the box. I know that Java does have some flaws, no access to hardware and at times speed issues, but it addresses a lot of the language problems and faults of other languages. No pointers, no memory allocation de-allocation, has strong typing, has inheritance. I'm just curious as to why hasn't anyone mentioned Java?
Java has a Telephony API, have you looked at that yet. I'm not sure if it is exactly what you want but it is a place to start. Here's a link: http://java.sun.com/products/jtapi/
