ABSTRACT:
A network sound channel which permits voice communication over a local area network (LAN). Plural workstations are connected via respective connection nodes to the LAN. Each workstation includes a sound processor for converting sound into digital information and digital information into sound, and each workstation is operable in (a) a talk mode in which the sound processor converts sound into digital information and the digital information is stored in the storage over the LAN, and (b) a listen mode in which digital information is retrieved from the storage over the LAN and the sound processor converts the digital information into sound.
