Well, after nearly 4-months I am finally back in linux. Sinc I now have a dec-talk U S B it is quite responsive, a world of difference from the decpc. Next, thanks for adding volume and pitch controlls. While there are a ton of issues before I get back to completely enjoying my new Dell PC, the first-and-most obvious thing I notice is how extremely fast or should I say faster access to my shell-account. Yes, I would still like to try YASR I got a small taste of it running oralux. I will say this much, the improved responsiveness goes along way toward my enjoyment of speakup. Now, a dictionary and a way to have single digit numbers would be outstanding Thanks again Hart
