Summary: Yes on net.dsp

Digital Signal Processing  involves a  different mode  of thinking  than
that associated with  traditional computer  science.   There is  concern
with dot products,  roundoff error,  and stability  instead of  sorting,
searching, and memory management schemes.

In practice, DSP implementations require tight coupling between hardware
and software, a bond that is rarely present in most hardware or software
development  teams,  one  notable  exception  being  the  Berkeley  RISC
project.

Possible names  for the  newsgroup could  be: Discussions  about  signal
processing have (or  could have) taken  place in: net.analog,  net.arch,
net.graphics, net.math,  net.micro,  net.usoft,  and  net.video.    This
covers a  wide  range  of  interests, and  chances  are  that  most  DSP
enthusiasts do not subscribe to them all.

For the first topic of discussion, I suggest interpolation filters.
