The DECTalk USB

[Glenn Ervin at Home]

Aren't we also supposed to be able to make the DecTalk communicate with a
modem?
Or is that another synth?
And if so, will the new ones do this?
But why would we want to?

Hey Luke. Possibly pass this onto whoever you talked to within the
company? I'd be curious to see if the new Dectalk-USB's firmware is
actually as programmable as the Dectalk express? Like can you still make
it sing and all the good-old stuff?
