- I believe that some high end modems already do that. From what I understand
- the high end Zyzel (?) modem has two cheap DSPs, a 68000 and a ROM. A modem
- upgrade usually consists on buying a new $35 ROM. Of course the modem is
- expensive to begin with....of course it's also really cool..fax modem,
- alternate ring detection, caller ID, supposedly can digitize incoming voice
- messages...wish I could afford one.
-
- I have heard that there is doubt that the 56001 could do a 9600 baud modem
- and do error correction and detection at the same time. Anyone know for
- sure? I've heard plenty of people talk about implementing a modem on the
- 56001 (when NeXT debuted the slabs, when Cork was talking about releasing
- an Apple CI clone w/DSP, now, and at various other times in between....)
- but have never heard of someone actually *doing* it. Does anyone know
- (with some degree expertise) just how good a modem the 56001 could make?
- If it isn't at least 9600b with V.32,V.42 then by the time you bought the
- program and bought the hardware to hook up the phone, you would probably
- be getting into the price range of a real modem.
