I wonder if you would also agree that this baloney about RACE having some valuable speech compression software is an yet anther attempt to make something out of nothing. I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but it's symptomatic of an underlying propensity to fabricate information. A selection of products from some company in Texas: ti.com A cooperative venture with Lucent for voice, nay, music over IP 207.24.196.101 FM stereo quality sound over a 28.8 Kbps: isochrone.com More digital voice products: dvsinc.com cybit.com Free speech compression technology (starts with GSM information but continues): kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de Voice over IP toolkits: voxware.com Patent Granted algorithms: gt-tech.com

Ignacio, there's been little speculation posted in some time and when it is the sentences tend to include wording such as "could", "might" and other perfectly clear qualifiers. Here we have some character telling people all sorts of falsities such as claiming the entire product contains nothing but a $5 DSP chip and therefore the company is ripping people off. Poor guy must have searched far and wide to find the cheapest DSP on the market, unfortunately he chose the wrong one by a mile. What else? Claims the product is "buggy" - doesn't appear he's ever used it much less even talked to anyone that has. Writes off insider buying as nothing but hyping the stock up so they can sell. Tells us remote access systems have nothing in them relating to Year 2000 compliance. Tries to imply that VoiceView might be a coming Microsoft standard when it turns out Microsoft wrote the technology off as obsolete a year ago. Keeps posting links to different technologies which are either just a part of something or are technologies that are totally contained in the office environment and have nothing to do with remote access. The list goes on and on. Keeps claiming the thread is full of hype - it sure is - his. Once again he's proven he can operate a search engine and has produced a mixed bag of anything that came up for voice compression. He even missed a good one: att.com First - I'd ask him to find a way to compare the quality of any other voice compression to the quality that Data Race has been able to achieve over 8 Kbps of bandwidth. Second - even allowing up to a 16 Kbps bandwidth let's see him find anything even close in quality that can be implemented with the limited component size & count one is limited to in a PCMCIA-II form factor. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The other day someone was telling me about how he and others in his profession have noticed a certain type personality that frequents some threads. It appears these types will never admit to having a position, either short or long, yet they seem to go out of their way to confuse, befuddle and inject doubt. When confronted these guys usually know little about the subjects at hand. It is thought these types aren't expecting to sway any of the educated longs but rather to inject enough confusion to scare away any potential purchasers. It's odd that these "self-proclaimed saviors" won't comment on being short but chances are they aren't doing it as a free pubic service. Think about it.
