And then the whole song and dance of having it FCC Part 61 (I think it is)
certified so Ma Bell doesn't try to use that as an excuse to terminate
your service...
I don't know too much about Telcom stuff however I have been an
embedded system designer for many years and this sort of stuff come
up now and then. You can buy chipsets that claim to be FCC
certified. I don't know if this relieves you of having to go
throught the actual testing or not. But I don't know why they would
advertise that fact unless it helped you in some way.
My Circuit Cellar mag had a article several months ago about using a
Scenix microcontroller and someone's chipset to implement a software
modem. I remember thinking "gee..theres not a lot to it" The chipset
handled the isolation, ring detection and other nasty stuff and the
software did the rest. I didn't read the article in too much depth
since I didn't have a use for something like that until now.
I will try to find it and read it more carefully tonight. I beleive
that it was based on an Appnote at Scenix's site. For those not in
the know the Scenix microcontroller is a small 8-bit RISC machine
that can run at 100Mhz! It lets you do a lot of stuff that used to
only be in the realm DSPs.
I haven't had the chance to use one yet but this could be the excuse
I need.

I agree -- by no means is this an attempt to replace the LineJACK, which
is an exceedingly cool piece of hardware; The whole harware-based
compression bit, for instance, are areas that this won't address at all.
That doesn't mean it won't have its (low-budget) place, though.
True! Low budget electronics projects are way cool. I've done
more than a few myself. :)
