Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. > Hi, I didn't look at the above url, but I do use a DEC Express and I did burn and test the 1.1 beta 20 CD, at least I think it was beta 20. I had no problem with getting speech to work, but there was definitely sluggish behavior when using the screen review keys. I'm guessing that there was a delay of about a second from when I hit a key to when I got speech. I don't have that problem with Debian using various kernels on different machines. On the other hand, I had the same behavior with a Doubletalk LT and the same System Rescue CD, so I think it's a problem with the CD itself. I also had no problem with grml 1.1rc1 using both synths on different processors, although software speech abruptly stopped on a machine I was using. On Debian, I am using my custom 2.6.24 kernel and the 2.6.25-2-686 kernel package. I haven't upgraded to 2.6.26 yet. With the Shane Etch CD using 2.6.18, I also noticed a slight delay in getting speech feedback but I figured that was because I was running from CD.
