#172801 - I agree with you Richard
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Having never seen the "info-mercials" myself, but having heard discusison of their content, I'm thinking this gadget is a VoIP adapter of a sort, using internet comm's to produce a phone connection.

If that's the case, the encoded voice is sent in packets. Packets don't always arrive at regular intervals, and often arrive out of order. That would explain the "chopped" syllables and "broken" words. In order to compensate for the random variation in packet arrival times, it requires a very large (deep) buffer. If the buffer in this gadget is a bit too small, then the effects described are likely.

Now, I'm not a telecom expert, though I've worked in that arena, and I'm not "up to speed" on the latest in VoIP, so take this for what it's worth ...

RE

But how large buffer would I need and would it be placed in between the usb port and the magic jack unit. It seems like most of the software is seating on my hard drive. I took a look at files by going into dos. It has some very large files being used for magic jack. Even if I listed all the files it still would not help to figure this unit out. The samsung chip is 48 pin priority chip with no information even on samsung website. Richard are saying if the buffer is large enough for incoming data the packets will be stored in the buffer till voice packets catch up to each other? Also what type of buffer would we be talking about to handle this operation?

Best regards,

Ralph Sac
