Ok, some background first: I once again just got this new dell machine back with a new controller card supporting 300gb drives. I have no speech in windows because of supposedly a video card conflict? Now, all-of-a-sudden, while reading the Pine index, -1> Jul 12 is read in words as july first twelve So its trading places of the message number and the date. O, I have a new Dectalk U S B running quite well in serial mode. On boot it claims its an express 285 Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips. I may not have remembered the exact screen of the pine index, but I sure remember what its saying Hart
