    sort of a hybrid between 4.64 and 4.3, they didn't do too bad on it
    really, I'd pay the money if I didn't need a Braille display and a

    Is it true Access Solutions is trying to get 4.3 or 4.2CD back for
    the USB product? <br>
    <br>
    I had a dream about getting a dECtalk USB last night, funnily
    enough, I turned it on and it said, "Dectalk USB version 4.2 ready.
    Connected to USB power." Is that what it says?<br>
