[DECtalk] DecTalk express software

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

Yes, that should do it. To make things as easy as possible, I'd try to 
make sure the serial port is mapped to COM1 in Windows. Otherwise you 
might have to play guessing games with the name of the serial port. I'm 
not sure how to verify the name of your serial port, but it should only 
be necessary if things don't just work out of the box. Even then, there 
are only so many com ports to try, and if things are working correctly, 
you're bound to hit the right one sooner or later.
