   A press release I saw in PC Week quoted a 4 kbps figure for compression.
   I placed three calls to DSP Group last week; in each case there was no-
body available to speak to; and in each case, having left my name and number,
none of my calls were ever returned.  Evidently the sales staff no longer
feels any need to respond to mere mortal customers, now that they've signed
Microsoft.  If anyone else has better luck, please post. 

	DSP Group
	2855 Kifer Rd
	Santa Clara, CA 95051
	(408) 985-4300
	President: Mr. Lieli Porat

   (Perhaps Mr. Porat would be more responsive than his lame sales staff.)
