That might not be necessary, eventually. I've heard, obliquely, of a project to develop "open source" modem (data pump) software that is obviously aimed at these things. It's not rocket science (well, not to DSP folks), and it is well and truly standardised. It would be a good final-year EE project in the right school. Also, since the theoretical limits of the POTS channel have pretty much been reached with V.34-bis or V.90, it's not even a moving target any more. No wonder they're cheap now. Does anyone know whether there's more to a "WinModem" than a line hybrid, a codec and a PCI interface? -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
