          Application No. 08/949,534                                                  

               Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads         
          as follows:                                                                 
               1.   An apparatus for providing audio and modem and fax                
          processing capabilities to a computer system having an I/O bus, the         
          modem and fax capabilities used with a telecommunication link, said         
          apparatus comprising:                                                       
                    an option card, comprising:                                       
                         means for interfacing with said I/O bus for                  
          transferring data;                                                          
                         a digital signal processor on said option card               
          coupled to said interfacing means for performing a plurality of             
          audio processing functions for the computer system;                         
                         a daughter board connector connected to said digital         
          signal processor; and                                                       
                         a daughter board connectable to the                          
          telecommunications link and removably connected through said                
          daughter board connector to said digital signal processor on said           
          option card, said daughter board having circuitry which when                
          combined with said digital signal processor loaded with modem and           
          fax software adds modem and fax functions to said computer system.
