Since it didn't plug/play the DoubleTalk, I should be ready with the proper values. Another question: Can I get someone to just send me the Compiled start-up package for DecTalk ISA for Fedora Core 5? I am hoping I'll be most impressed to see that work the first time. Unlike the smart design of the DoubleTalk, DecTalk requires these external files be loaded into it, which is a mixed blessing as far as I'm concerned. I have also discovered it does indeed use more conventional memory then I think it should. DoubleTalk doesn't rob you of any conventional memory whatsoever. But, I actually prefer the DecTalk voice, DoubleTalk tens to slur just a tad, as excellent as it is in many other respects. //Rich// --- Luke Yelavich wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Thu, Nov 09, 2006 at 10:43:27AM EST, Radical > NetSurfer wrote: > > I read both the man page and info page on mknod, > > the only problem is I have no idea exactly what > the > > major/minor version of this doubletalk should be > > offhand. > > Check the output of dmesg.
