I and others have already given you quite a few places to look and read drivers which already do this, so what is it that you need that they don't do for you? There is information on programming the DoubleTalk as well as a lot of other synths on the linux-speakup.org site in the goodies directory and below. Have you even looked at or run any of these drivers? Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
