What about the possibility of using DSP's? Is there any brand of 28.8 K modem which uses a "standard" DSP and EPROM firmware? Such a beast might be the easiest way to get a large amount of CPU horsepower operating independently of the host computer. DSP's are optimized to execute a large number of instructions with little I/O needs.

Zyxel modems (ISDN and V34) have a Motorola 56000 DSP and a Motorola 68000. - --------< fate favors the prepared mind >-------- Remo Pini rp@rpini.com PGP: http://www.rpini.com/remopini/rpcrypto.html - ------< words are what reality is made of >------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQEVAwUBMfS9GBFhy5sz+bTpAQFQbggAp7H0bJyZYUzD87QQorzRQ8PTaTkkB1r3 tsEj6JWmq4PlppRd0lvjP2mN4LmfR700A8O7qdr6d9IfKrNmQzItDEPjq2zv+Lbf P9e2mi7Jz1xl1faZv3YiBAbdhv/jlnI0m4o3x6AwZNkAy1pe3xkj61H9n8tQ3cqf eAwDqZlOCCsjuN/hdJAiIHuiuqC2W0i59bZR59u6ek8iXE+8LnXXxeMxuUOZVIgI 2efgoJk6ev5/7IOoDaMlgffkHcWTTnjEClBI3JnGcIOnauacYG8t8UuPa5R8Td0t ZL/O8/gEDKGpos8j92DSyDgjb6XrRWq3CWZbfoXDhfRbnTKU/ZqXUg== =2afe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
