Patch for DEC-talk Express driver

[William Hubbs]

Hi again Tony,

can you check out version 2.17 of the driver?  Kirk sent me some
documentation that says that the command to set the volume on the
express is

[:dv g5 xx] where xx is from 60 to 86.

Also I think I have better ranges and offsets for several of the
commands now.
