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
mac first.<br>
<br>
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>

was put on the list a few months ago. it is worth it if you want
ductal but can't find the older solutions. It works on my windows
7 machine and Michael helped me out and communicated with me
through the entire purchase.

<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font size="2"
face="Arial">This email is intended primarily for
list members who have purchased a Dectalk USB. I
recently decided that I want to buy one. My first
thought was access Solutions, the manufacturer. I
was told that Access Solutions accepts credit
card orders by phone, not the Internet. I
initially agreed to this. However, prior to making
a purchase, I realized giving my credit card info
via phone to a company with whom I have not done
business with previously is a very bad idea.</font></span></div>

<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font size="2"

in terms of trustworthiness?</font></span></div>
