I figured he meant running the OM software on the lappie to operate the<br>
voice modem as a phone.<br>
<br>
Which should be doable with some hacking to accommodate possible<br>
differences between the pci express card and the chip arrangement of a<br>
Neo. Majorly, would the card present itself as an audio interface or<br>
transfer PCM on the serial interface?<br>
<br>
As currently the OM dialer is Qtopia, the question becomes if it has<br>
support for the required I/O strategy or would one have to hack it (I<br>
don't know).<br>
