[DECtalk] Access 32 On Windows 7

Dont bother with support unless you need to confirm  something you already 
expected. Some of the people there are very helpful but some of them, as you 
say, are just awful.
I wish Fonix would get involved. I don't see how they can let Dectalk just 
die out. It's old, yes, but if we have to do something that Fonix isn't 
doing, then something is not quite right.
What is Fonix doing now anyway? Maybe they are working on something else 
that will make as big of a mark on speech synthesis?
