Off topic: looking for a DECTalk express cable

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  I tried to reply to other messages on this thread during the
upgrade to bumpy, so my replies didn't make it to the list.
Thanks to everyone who replyed.  I ended up contacting
stonewallcable.com.  I could order the cable and adapter from them for under
$30.  There address is:

http://www.stonewallcable.com.

There form was accessible with lynx the cat, but the form wanted me to
use a shipping account even though I had the box checked to add the cost
to the total.  I just called there 800 number and had no problem.
Hope this helps others who might need the same cables and adapters.  I'm
noticing there are DECtalk expresses for sell on Ebay for around $200
lately, so it might be a good solution for anyone who wants a hardware
synth.

          Kenny
