Right.  It looks like the same MWAVE DSP chip as is in some of the
other 755.  This is a bit sneaky, but you know, for those of us who
see the 755 as a neat Linux box, the scaled-down CX looks attractive,
because we can replace the unsupported sound/modem stuff by supported,
albeit external, stuff.
