This is a small box that has a TI TLC32040 14 bit codec, telephone line, and telephone handset interface. The data from the codec is output via RS 422, and it's then your problem to get it into the DSP of your choice. The price? $895.00 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Phil has pointed at one set of solutions to work around building one's own box, but we've had a snag w/ ASPI boxes... We use the ASPI Serial Voice Interface and the Serial Audio Interface box The latter is higher bandwidth (20Hz-20KHz) and more $$. But, and here is the crunch, we can't seem to get the driver working for the SVI. The SAI driver runs fine. Both drivers are developed in-house. We're using it with a DSP32C based VME board (from Valley Instruments). ASPI basically said that the problem is clock related, sorry, buy our SAI box instead, and have a nice day! I'm debugging the SVI driver in the hope that we can salvage the SVI based box(es). Burr Brown also makes boxes, though they're very high (MHz) b/w for my use. I didn't see anything in the VME/Sun world from Ariel @ ICASSP this year... so, caveat emptor... sandeep -- smehta@nynexst.com -- "But jazz is decadent bourgeois music," I was told, for that is what the Soviet press had hammered into Russian heads.
