- I would suggest that you look into CVSD chips from Harris.
- Motorola may also make such a beast. Look in the Harris Telecom
- products manual. The CVSD (Continuously Variable Slope DeModulator) chips
- convert voice signals into a serial bitstream at a very slow bit rate,
- something like 400 bytes/Second if I remember correctly. The CVSD also
- goes the other way, bitstream in, audio out. The bitstream can be fed
- into your favorite micro/memory combination or you could even do it with
- a RAM chip and mux/counter hardware if you prefer working in the wire
- domain over working in the software domain. Don't forget to add some
- lowpass filters on the audio i/o lines. Fidelity is not great, but
- the memory requirements are minimal. I always wanted to build an all digital
- answering machine with one of those and a simm.
