- I used a Rockwell Fax chip a couple of years ago in a radio modem design, it
- worked well and was easy to control, unfortunately before each transmission
- of data it had to send a "training sequence" to get transmitter and reciever
- into synch. This training sequence took almost a second, longer than the 512
- byte packet that followed it and considerably longer than the returning
- "Ack" packet, thereby considerably reducing data throughput.
-
- Looking through the data sheets, Rockwell do now have several 9600 Baud modem
- chips which just need a few peripheral components to make a complete modem.
