-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Wow, I remember that box. I used to use the Echo for several years until I got a Speakout from GW Micro. I got to where I couldn't stand the squeaks and squocks when shutting up speech and one place where I worked, I kept getting all kinds of wierd RF interference from a near-by construction site. If the driver is stable, I would suggest giving it to Kirk and have him include it in future Speakup versions.
