Hi, I bought my copy from fonix http://www.fonix.com They make the software for linux. If you need firmware for the hardware devices you can get them from ftp://ftp.gwmicro.com As for contacting the producers they seem not to like answering there support emails. How nice.

Subject: Re: Dectalk speech Hi Jim, saw this but have been busy. I would start with the source for the software, and I would actually like to know who they are myself as I am looking for a clean copy of the dec-talk firmware. Not sure of the year of the one you mentioned. Granted this depends on the company, but a downgrade is usually free if your copy is a registered one. hope that helps, and let me know who sold you that program, or if your copy of the firmware can be e-mailed?
