ATM adapters

The important telecommunications technology is Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). ATM is capable of handling all types of traffic (voice, video, and data). Since that date researches and projects begin about the possibilities of construct and then handling of ATM networks with their different technologies and services. The Department of telecommunication in the University of Technology Brno starts to reach that evolution by development the projects of flexible ATM network. One of these projects is this project which has a title of Program Control of ATM Cards which will serve Constant Bit-Rate (CBR) of ATM multimedia network. CBR implies the voice service of ATM multimedia network. The project construction is consists of the connection between the electrical source of voice (Telephone set) and multimedia ATM device (PC with an ATM adapter card). Theoretically this connection is easy but from the practical point of view requires some important equipment's which will be suitable to obtain the good results. There is question. Is it practically possible for a PC to become as multimedia device by means of ATM, which means that PC will send and receive voice, data, and video in the same time? This paper which is written by the project will help to answer this question.
