Great! BTW, this sounds rather like the Harmless Little Project,
which appears to be moribund. HLP proposed designing a
Harmless Little Board that you could build for about $100,
with a compatible software implementation.
While that appears not to have happened, there are a number of
$5 full-duplex sound cards, $20 28.8k modems, and cheap DSP
and CPU chips around that designing a board to sell in that
price range should be reasonable assuming you can sell enough volume.
I'm glad it's actually being done!
Thanks!
Bill
