Do AMR modems work with qnx or linux.
Is AMR an open standard so drivers could be made for it if they are not
already.

Hi Daniel,
Could you elaborate on what AMR is?
Thanks

Sorry for being off-topic but in my world AMR is a very
hot subject right now. It stands for “Adaptive Multi Rate”
and is the new speech codec to be introduced in GSM and the
comming UMTS mobile telecommunication networks.

Hello,
AMR is a port that comes on new motherboards which stands for Audible Modem
Riser. They are a very small internal modem that share the chipset of the
motherboard so they are very cheap and cost effective. You should be able to
find out more info at this address
http://www.smlink.com/products/riser56_dec11_2000.html or at the manufacture
of my actual card
http://www.epox.com/html/english/products/modem/Default.htm.
Thanks

AMR = Audio/Modem Riser. Its a dinky little brown slot near the
back edge of the motherboard designed for “modem” cards and/or
audio adaptors to plug into. I don’t know the specifics but its
yet another scheme to offload sound and telephony processing from
dedicated sound and modem cards, whether onto the CPU or chips
on the motherboard I don’t know. AMR is pretty much tied into the
AC97 audio stuff too. It makes motherboards cost more and “modems”
and “soundcards” cost less.

Remember those awful (and proprietary) “Winmodems”? Think worse than that,
and they depend on the CPU for everything…
Marisa
As bad or worse than the (shudder) Macintosh GeoPort telecom adaptors?

Hi Gregg,
Actually I just ran into one of these on a machine I recently setup.
Since part of the operation is taken place on the card and the other
on a separte chip on the motherboard, I wouldn’t expect it to function
as a regular modem would.
However noone here that I know of has tried it yet.
If you happen to get it going please let us know how.

On the website of the maker it says something about it is linux compatible
