  I'd also like to find such a board, but I don't need the RJ-xx interface.
  
  Nice features I'd like to see:
  
      1.  A/D and D/A on board (plug in option is ok).
      2.  A/D and D/A that go up to 16 bits and 44.1 kHz would be nice
          but I don't need it for all purposes.
      3.  Buffered A/D and D/A so I don't have to code the pace.
      4.  2 each of A/D and D/A (stereo, other effects, etc.)
      5.  If RJ-xx interface, voltage level, ring detect and such would
          also be nice, but that sounds like a telephone line interface

There's a neat general purpose TMS320C31 DSP board made by ASPI, called
the Elf-31. The hardware is $1000, TI software development software is
extra. It has:

	33MHz C31
	128k x 32 fast DRAM
	stereo 16 bit A/D and D/A, up to 48kHz sampling rate
	stereo 1/8" in/out sockets
	RJ-11 telephone interface
	MIDI/serial interface
	16 bit AT 2/3 card
	daughter board socket

ASPI's address is:

	Atlanta Signal Processors. Inc.
	770 Spring St
	Atlanta, GA 30308
	USA
	phone: (404) 892-7265
	fax: (404) 892-2512
