<DIV>I had similar results with my P3/866, but I was hoping that a faster
processor might help to eliminate the occasional</DIV>
<DIV>"stumble" I've noticed with Allstar. Especially at the beginning of
telemetry or user audio, the audio will sometimes glitch.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It occasionally happens with user audio also. I've not noticed that
before when I ran an IRLP or EchoIRLP system.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm not sure if it's a USB-related phenomenon, since my previous systems
have used analog sound cards, rather than USB fobs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If nodes with faster processors also have that issue, then I won't spend
any more time or energy trying to upgrade my PC, or change to simpleusb, etc.
I'll just live with it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I figured that if the Simpleusb would be less processor-hungry, maybe that
would minimize the glitches?</DIV>

<DIV><PRE>--- Original Message ---</PRE><PRE>>>><I>also seems that the parallel port support isn't included in
</I>simpleusb?
Can you confirm this?
Might be really easy to get it.
I'll certainly be wanting to do this. :-)
I'm still getting free Pentium III 1U rack serves lately :-)
Which are quite sexy looking and convenient to use for this.
The used 1U Quad Xeons I purchase are going for about $850. hihi

useage
That's with Top runing at a 20 sample per second rate (which eats some CPU
itself mind you.
This seems to suggest that an 'ol Pentium-3 can cut it for this app.
Somebody please beat me with a baseball bat if I'm wrong!!
