I can't ship an entire machine, but I have several internal Doubletalk
cards, as well as an external serial port interfacing Doubletalk, and a
serial or USB interfacing Tripletalk I would be able to donate. The
internal cards are ISA, though. While it's not impossible to get a board
with ISA slots, it's pretty rare and certainly not consumer hardware
anylonger.

These old devices are about to get trashed, so if anyone wants them, let
me know asap.
