Has anyone seen the new Codex 2660 series trellis coded modems?
I opened one up and am just amazed at what's inside. For example,
the least exotic piece of LSI is a MC68000. I never expected to have
a modem smarter than many computers I have used. The sucker is expensive
($13K) but our calculations show that a 16Kb modem will pay for itself
pretty quickly in many of our applications. Assuming it works.

Down the hall the chip planners are mumbling something about ISDN
making all this analog stuff obsolete. We'll see.
