Sphere
Porting a large and complex Windows NT-based PABX server to Unix/Linux. An initial investigation phase at MPC Data took full advantage of our extensive knowledge of multiple operating systems to devise the optimum porting strategy. As a result we were able to complete the porting task in significantly less time than our customer had estimated.

Leading supplier of consumer electronics
Soft Modem, implemented by porting code from a stand-alone external modem to a set-top box environment. The Z80 8-bit single-tasking dedicated code that managed a modem data pump required extensive re-working to the co-operative multi-tasking 32-bit environment. The code was enhanced for bi-directional V.23 operation in addition to V.22 and V.22bis. Performance of the software was critical to this development to ensure the modem operation did not occupy more than the minimum CPU bandwidth and ensure that interrupt latencies were not too onerous on the rest of the system.
