Primary Access was a company based in San Diego, CA formed to develop and market so-called soft modems, which were based on programmable Digital Signal Processor technology. Significant customers included CompuServe, who used Primary Access modems to support its business of supporting dialup credit card authorizations. Primary Access founders include Jim Dunn, and Joe Markee (who later founded Copper Mountain Networks).

Under the leadership of CEO Bill Stensrud (formerly of Statacom) and Andy May (formerly of CompuServe}, Primary Access was later sold to 3Com. Stensrud went on to become a managing partner of Enterprise Partners, and May the CEO of Paradyne.
