Hello Janina and all the others, I have a few boxes now and a few problems. Does anybody of you know how to set the default language on a keynote gold sa by sending ascii commands over the serial line? There must be a command set, but I can't find it. Also, I am trying to make speak a Infovox 700. Unlike the others, sending it ascii text is not enough. Or does it use very strange serial parameters?
