Hi Jacog: Well, if you are using the alsa drivers then they will make your card work like it is full duplex even if it isn't. I believe. Also I think alsa creates the /dev/audio device when you run the snddevice script. Just incase though, the /dev/audio device is major 14 and minor 4. The reflector works just fine with anything above 14.4 modems. Speak freely needs to be able to talk to the /dev/audio device though. We may need to look into changing that at some point. It looks like there is going to be some on going upgrades to speak freely 7.1 however. John Walker just made 7.2 available for beta testers and I know there are a few more patches on the way as well. I was worried about future support but he seems dedicated to it. -- Kirk Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
