Voice synthesizer question

[Janina Sajka]

Ah, let's clear the air a little ...

1.) Kirk has had a TripleTalk to work with for some time now. He's on
the case.

2.)	I am not aware that anyone anywhere is successfully using
TripleTalk with Speakup. Anyone want to prove me wrong? I would be very
glad to be wrong, but I don't think so.
