Another one... this appears to be a modem that connects to the DSP port. I have no manual or software for this. Does anyone else?

What is this thing then?, I've never heard of one of these.  Is it the same idea as an Apple Geoport Telecom adaptor that uses the host DSP on a Quadra 840av to emmulate a real modem? or something else?

Mix is a 2400 bps full-duplex data modem and a 9600 send and receive Group III fax modem. With the help of the NeXT computers's built-in Digital Signal Processor, it can also be used as an advanced telephone answering machine and voicemail system, mix uses digital storage for announcements, incoming messages, and automatically switches incoming calls to fax, modem, or telephone and answering machine. Mix is easier to use than conventional hardware machines, providing both functionality and a high level of integration. The mix hardware doesn't use the serial port and doesn't need a power supply. i-link GmbH

Why am I not surprised  :)

Anyway. gtn at rbii dot com will handle many megabytes. I'd love to verify that it works.
