Ot: DecTalk USB?

[W. Nick Dotson]

The DECTalk USB has both a 9-pin serial, and USB port.  It can be run via 9-volt battery, from an adapter, or, even when you're running it serialy, you can 
use the USB port for power.  There is a switch on the unit for USB or Serial use. Mine is languishing somewhere, and it I find it I'll tell you the switch details.

 Greetings,

 I have a very basic dectalk USB question,  I am not sure if i am going to 
 get this, but I am having trouble finding a dectalk express, and 
 understand the USB unit can be used with a 9-pin port?
 I have no USB port, so must be firm on this before seeking one.
 I might add that I am not using windows either so again want to be sure it 
 is still just a text to speech device  controlled by one's respective 
 program.
 Thanks,
 Karen
