I do not understand the interest in special hardware type
modems like the Baycom. Although I have used the Baycom
(with the TI chip) and the Poor Man's Packet modem (using
the Am7910), I have found it much more convenient, and less
expensive (time and material) to use an ordinary sound
card. Sound cards are cheap and don't require dedicating
serial or parallel ports that are better used for other
applications.
Now there is a new hardware design using a new chip that
reportedly replaces the TI chip.
Am I missing something here? Is there a significant
advantage to using such an approach over using a soundcard?
