As I recall, someone has already written a linux driver for the dectalk pc. I think it creates a device to which you can sendtext and commands. It may be out on leb.net. I'm a little vague, but I can checkinto it a little more. I think the driver waswritten some time within the past two-three years. 73, Chris w1gm at sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
