Far easier, I'd expect. I've normally only used external TAs on PCs
anyway, so I can't say for certain. But since your IIcx can most
likely handle a 57600 serial speed natively
(http://groups.google.com/groups?q=mac+iicx+serial+port+speed&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search),
you'd be about ready to use a 56 or 64k ISDN single-channel
connection.
But I can't swear that the IIcx under Linux would handle the
bandwidth, either. Worst case scenario, if the external TA overwhelms
the Mac, find an old junker PC with 16550 UARTs to stick it on.
