Christopher, Emacspeak now supports the Dectalk Express, software Dectalk, Doubletalk, and BNS synthesizers. You'll find the BNS drivers in "ftp://ftp.leb.net/pub/blinux/emacspeak/emacspeak-bs-*.tgz" or is it "tar.gz". I have both the BNS and Doubletalk drivers installed. -- Best Regards, Dave Hunt <dave@xxxxxxxxxxx Amateur Radio: wx1g
