Hi,

I didn't look at the above url, but I do use a DEC Express and I did 
burn and test the 1.1 beta 20 CD, at least I think it was beta 20.  I 
had no problem with getting speech to work, but there was definitely 
sluggish behavior when using the screen review keys.  I'm guessing that 
there was a delay of about a second from when I hit a key to when I got 
speech.  I don't have that problem with Debian using various kernels on 
different machines.  On the other hand, I had the same behavior with a 
Doubletalk LT and the same System Rescue CD, so I think it's a problem 
with the CD itself.  I also had no problem with grml 1.1rc1 using both 
synths on different processors, although software speech abruptly 
stopped on a machine I was using.  On Debian, I am using my custom 
2.6.24 kernel and the 2.6.25-2-686 kernel package.  I haven't upgraded 
to 2.6.26 yet.  With the Shane Etch CD using 2.6.18, I also noticed a 
slight delay in getting speech feedback but I figured that was because I 
was running from CD.
