Does it use SpeakUp? I have a laptop, and I have tried several versions of Linux to try and boot to software speech, so I can access a hidden drive on my laptop, but neither distro allowed me to access my sound card. I did order a USB to serial cable, so perhaps I could use my DecTalk Express with something. Glenn
