That URL doesn't work. AIIEEE!!!! It drives me batty knowing that the 
drivers are out there, but that nobody seems to put them online. Even boards 
of DECtalk users don't know. Software, especially drivers to expensive 
hardware, should never be allowed to just disappear. I suspect that 
companies get embarrassed by their old products and don't want prospective 
consumers to stumble upon some product that they made fifteen years ago, 
afraid they'll laugh. Especially if the ownership of the original business 
has changed hands a few times...

If anybody finds the DECtalk ISA drivers for Windows NT - *please* let me 
know.

Thanks!
