[DECtalk] It's time to bust some DECtalk myths

[Chime Hart]

Hi Don: First, I was surprised our current discussion was going to an entire 
list, but this is good as others much more experienced than myself will have 
analysis. Next, yes, there is a volume wheel-and-toggle switch on the unit. 
When I try your echo command, it says stty permission denuyed, even with sudo. 
I would think some1 would need to analise the Speakup drivers, which if some1 
wanted, I could probably send, but now Speakup is in staging in the kernel 
since maybe Debian 5.0.9? There was an `anoying issue whenever there were a 
hardware change, would reboot-and since flush time was set a 400MS, there would 
be a 4second delay after any typing. Anyway, now it is set at 10. Really, the 
nice thing back in the Vocal-Eyes days, many were useing DecTalk PC or Express, 
so if there were bugs they would be noticed along the way. Not sure if there 
aren't more than 5 of us on the Speakup list running any kind of DecTalk. I was 
going to try-and-record an audio sample of those drops to share with the Debian 
Speakup maintainer, as this unit has an ear-phone jack
