Jason,
Yes I now use speakup for doubletalk.
As especially the doubletalk PC is an ISA slot card, ther will be few whose
machines will take this card.
Probably the newer trippletalk USB and serial synth would be the better bet.
I'd have liked to use brltty with my doubletalk if the driver existed, but
don't think it worth anybody's time to build one for this older card.
thanks
