So from 64 Kbits/second you want to do 20:1 compression, down to 3200 bits
per second?  Pretty aggressive.  There's a company with a product that
hooks to a standard serial port that claims to be able to do speech at
1100 bits per second; the product is from Digispeech, called the DS201.  
The compression algorithm seems to be proprietary.
