Thanks Andreas,

Very cool that demo can run on the command line!  Such a great way of
prototyping.  A lot of the work in FreeDV (e.g. sound cards to modems to
codecs, sample rate changes, fifo buffering) is simply to reproduce what
the Linux command line does for us.

Good point from others re bit errors and encryption.  However I imagine
there are cipher systems that can work over HF, after all encrypted
speech is a major application for HF DV.  Once you get a few dB over the
min SNR the bit error rate drops to zero with FEC.

There is another application for SmartMic - secure telephony over the
GSM voice channel.  The idea is we develop a modem that can pass 1200
bit/s or so through the GSM _voice_ codec.  This channel is pervasive
around the world, reliable, and low latency (unlike mobile data).

Cheers,

David
