Hello all: Soon, I will be buying a new voice synthesizer. I would like an external serial device for it's flexibility. Presently, it is a toss up between the dectalk express and the acsent. If anyone has an opinion concerning serial voice synthesizers, I would like to hear it. I personally like the dectalk express; but, it doesn't seem very well made. And, DEC used those rj 45 connectors with the tab offset. I have no idea why DEC did this. This type of connecter is on most of their terminal servers, printers and other serial devices. DEC are the only one's who use this connector. I guess this is why they can charge $15 for a cable. Terry
