Hi, Kirk,

Thanks for the address to the newbie list.  I sent in a subscribe message.

I downloaded Zipspeak.zip from:
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-7.1/zipspeak/

There was only *1* version, and that is the one I got--36mb.  It seems to
output to a sound card--that is my understanding.  I have a Lite Talk, and
I want to have it address my LT.  I was told that there are drivers for
Lite Talk that will allow zipspeak to talk through it.

It is those drivers I am trying to find.  I surely hope that I have not
got to download another 36mb to get zipspeak in the right form for my lite
talk!  Can anyone clarify this?

Again, this would all be nice to have in a FAQ for newbies.

Thanks in advance for any clarification and assistance.
