This is weird. The author of Speak Freely, John Walker, seemed to have gained a revived interest in his program, set up a web forum, and the activity on the mailing list was up. Now, he's declaring it dead as of January 15, 2004. He put the announcement up at : http://www.fourmilab.ch/speakfree/eol I guess it's up to the Speakup community to maintain our version and keep adding features. The only question is whether we should try and merge in the 7.6A code into our version? It has some improvements like supporting GPG as well as the older PGP for encryption, but our version has the audio blending feature as well as the nice features for the Speakup reflector. It's the only voice client that works on both Windows and Unix/Linux that I know of.
