Hi Terry, For the DecTalk Express download one of the files that begin with dectlk. If you're doing an install from CDROM or HDD, download dectlkb.bin, if you're doing a network install, download dectlkn.bin. If you need to install from a Pc-CARD (PCMCIA) device, then download dectlkp.bin. The images that begin with decext are for the old fashioned DecTalk external. Any questions, call or write.
