I need to play .au audio files. Can I play them on my Dos box connected to a unix main frame? Do you know of a Dos utility that can play them under Dos? What are the best speech friendly audio tools on which brands of linux? Which will work using a dos pc as a terminal? If you must quote me, please put your comments first. I have already listened to mine. I read email with speech. So it is not possible to scroll past the quotes without listening to them again, to quickly get to the new information. Thanks much again as always.
