old 8-bit card for soundmodem?

[Andrea Borgia]

Hello.

I have an old 8-bit soundcard that I would like to use with the 
soundmodem to receive a 1200bps cluster. From the docs and from googling 
the archives (and the 'Net at large), I haven't been able to find any 
comment either for or against such cards.

Has anyone here tried the soundmodem with 8-bits-per-sample soundcards? 
Can such old cards do 1200? What about 9600?

B73 & TIA,
Andrea.

I'm running the kernel soundmodem (linux 2.2) with an SB Pro, which is
8-bit stereo IIRC. It works fine at 1200 baud. I have not tried 9600,
nor the more recent user-space soundmodem.
