I bought a Sound Blaster Clone card a couple of days ago for $65, including a nice integrated stereo headset and hands-free microphone. The Brand name is "Sound Sparc Mecer Multimedia Sound System". It claims to be compatible with Sound Blaster V2.0. I purchased it at the Campbell Domino Computer store; probably other members of the chain also have it. The reason I mention it here is that this unit might work well along with a 9600bps or higher modem & appropriate software (to be developed) to implement an encrypted phone system for real-time (or close) voice. Anyone working on a similar project please contact me via E-mail so we can compare notes. -- edgar@spectrx.saigon.com (Edgar W. Swank) SPECTROX SYSTEMS +1.408.252.1005 Cupertino, Ca
