I'm not sure what you mean by the older less accessable version. The speakfree.exe in the goodies area is meant to be dropped into the directory that you unpacked speak freely into when you installed it. It is just the executable. The only difference is that it supports mixed incoming audio certainly no requirement for talking with folks on the reflector. There are also jfw scripts in the goodies area for speak freely which make it easier to figure out what the hell is going on. If you have an old version running just use it and folks on the reflector will gladly tell you how to install newer versions. Of course, they'll probably recommend dumping windows first of all!
