One thing we learn about Richard (RadSurfer) is that he is no quitter.... trying yet another angle on this DecTalk business he installs the very latest Dos Emulator 1.40 package. Seems to run aok, more or less. Problem is, the way linux is protective of hardware access, the dt_driv.exe program never gets to actually probe for the presence of the ISA card... I just moved all of the actual DecTalk PC 4.2C dos files into the DosEmu folder and gave it a try. There has to be some tweaking that would allow the ISA/DMA addresses used specifically by the DecTalk card to be made available to DosEmu, and presto! So far no luck. If I log into DosEmu as root, I get entirely different folders that if I'm regular user, natually. and I haven't been able to get lredir command to let me access a location of the dectalk files to copy into a dosemu folder as root anyways. very nasty business, but what the heck it if worked. ....still plugging away at it. Lets vote on a 2.6xx upgrade to the DecTalkPC ISA support! There really are quite a few very decent highend P3's still in use out there! //Rich// __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
