Greg, all, Whoops. Miscommunication here. My Dectalk Express External is the old model, using the old RS-232 serial port with the DB-9 pin connector, not the new USB Dectalk. Does this mean the speakup_decext module is for the USB version? If so, which module do I need for the old Dectalkkkk external? Sorry for all this confusion, but I am new to speakup.
