I recall a german company that was going to release a digital answering machine/modem/fax (something wonderful along those lines) for the NeXT this spring. Anyone remember their name or how to get in touch with them? Has anyone seen a demo of this? -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet)

Basically this is what you get: - A voice mail system with digital storage for announcement and incoming messages - A 9600 bps send and receive group III fax modem - A 2400 bps full duplex data modem All of this is totally integrated and (as a software product) expandable with future software upgrades. For all four services, mix gives you more functionality while being easier to use than conventional hardware machines. mix does NOT use a serial port on your NeXT computer and does not need a power supply! The hardware is a small dongle-like thing that connects the digital DSP-output to the phone line. Everything else done by conventional telecommunications hardware is done in DSP-software. We showed mix at the CeBIT in Hannover and expect to start volume shipments in summer. The pricing has not yet been determined, expect to see a competitive price. You have been added to our mailing list, so that we will be able to give you more information in the future. This mail has been sent to you by info@ilink.de i.link GmbH Hammerstrasse 45c 1000 Berlin 37 Germany +49 30 781 70 55 phone +49 30 781 70 56 mix P.S. Please don't use info@ilink.de for the next couple of weeks - it won't work yet. Use info@ilink.uucp (or unido!ilink!info) instead. We hope to have this worked out very soon.
