This may be a case of differing expectations because I am also using 4.6. But yesterday, I used my laptop as a dumb terminal and installed debian on 5 machines. I set the console to ttyS0,115200n8 and ran kermit on my laptop. It was good enough. although, I do run emacspeak and not speakup on my laptop. That may have something to do with it. For $50, I've been happy with DECtalk. At 12:48 PM 3/29/2006, Steve Holmes wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: RIPEMD160 > >Which version of DEC Talk are you using?
