Hi Alan,

I'm part of quite an active packet communtiy (https://ukpacketradio.network/) - 
DINAH looks like a cool item a number of folks would be itnerested in! Not many 
of our users are on soundmodem - direwolf, G8BPQ's QtSoundmodem (which I plan 
to upload to Debian) and (in hardware) NinoTNC are the flavour of the month for 
us.

I know of a few CM108 mods (our sister communtiy even has a guide - 
https://wiki.oarc.uk/cm108_sound_interface_smd) 
<https://wiki.oarc.uk/cm108_sound_interface_smd?s[]=cm108>, so extending 
functionality to more people would be generally of benefit to all.

Soundmodem is a little old, but it's also not moving very fast so I don't see 
too much overhead in maintaining a patch for it unless it's likely to degrade 
the experience for other users?

Cheers
DH
