Multiplatform Soundcard Packet Radio Modem by Thomas Sailer,

The software is published under the GNU GPL V2

This software allows a standard PC soundcard to be used as a packet
radio "modem". The whole processing is done on the main processor CPU.

Unlike previous packet radio modem software, this new release offers
several new benefits:
 - Now uses standard operating system sound drivers (OSS/Free under
   Linux, /dev/audio under Solaris and DirectSound under Windows), thus
   runs on all soundcards for which drivers for the desired operating
   system are available.
 - No fixed relationship between bitrate, sampling rate, and modem
   parameters. Modems may be parametrized, and multiple modems may even
   run on the same audio channel!
 - Usermode solution allows the use of MMX, VIS, Floating point and other
   media instruction sets to speed up computation.
 - Cross platform builds from a single source code provides ubiquitous
   availability.
