David,

Thanks for your efforts. We are basically waiting for Conexant to get
back to us with specs. We haven't heard back from them in a while
though. I recently (no later than one week ago) e-mailed them again
asking for an update. Haven't heard back from them.

Hopefully they'll get back to us soon.=20

If we get the specs they'll be covered under an NDA. Any developer would
need to sign the NDA before gaining access to the specs.
