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

[Karen Lewellen]

Well Chime,
One solid point already made is that speakup does not seem to write 
drivers for  all the synthesizers listed as being supported.
Speaking personally, not being able to have one in hand for  suitable 
testing   feels like the issue, one cannot create a generic dectalk 
browser, and expect full screen reader function.
Was certainly how the  several quality DOS screen readers worked, even 
tinytalk had individual drivers for the  synthesizers.
