Change the 1200 to 9600 Baud, and remember that when you are talking to your "classic" dectalk, that the port you use to talk to it is *NOT* the port that Speakup will want to use. It has both a host and a terminal port and I always forget which is which. But one of them will go in to setup when you give it a break signal -- it expects you to be talking to it with a terminal. The other one won't respond to a Break -- that's the one you connect to your PC. I have Speakup working fine with a classic Dectalk here. --Debee
