Basically, they have a multi-processor 68000 machine, called a Voice Funnel, a Butterfly Gateway, or a Butterfly Supercomputer depending on which contract # you ask about, which takes voice and spills it onto a 1.544Mbps Wideband Satnet channel. I don't think they've tested it via the Satellite yet, but they have tested it over ground microwave links. Really slick. They are also developing an interface to subscriber telephone lines for the thing. The person to contact is Bob Hinden of BBN if you want more info. -JCP-
