- Hi,
-
- You are so right! The MIRO modem is based on the IBM MWAVE DSP (so do
- BEST DATA with their ACE5000 and IBM of course). Although I've heard
- nothing bad about MIRO, I did hear about bugs in the MWAVE application
- (not firmware) software (especially the ACE5000). Maybe it's been
- corrected by now. I suggest you stick to your "real life feedback"
- attitude.
-
- Good luck.
