interesting experiment.

[Octavian Rasnita]

The sound quality of DecTalk PC 1 is very bad.
It uses an 8 bith sound encription and it has a bad noise.
The voice is not very good also. Via voice is pretty good.
I wish I could do something to stop it  crashing.
Teddy,

Did you say you have a DEC Talk internal? Use it.
