I brought this to the attention of an AT&T Supervisor who uses a 3B1 with voice hardware on the side. He said that the $16000 solution he put together "back then" is slightly out of date: At another site -- his home? -- he has an AT&T 6300 [DOS] with: - an "Echo" card [ ~ $200 ] Street Electronics, Carpinteria, Calif. - the "Enhanced Talking PC" program [ $ 350 ] Computer Conversation, Alexandria, Ohio He likes the cost and effectiveness of the new solution. By the way, he uses these systems constantly -- whether for E-mail, software development or text entry -- and, being blind, is totally dependent on the voice hardware/software and a very sharp mind in his computer work. Please forward this to the Requestor, Thad. Apologies for consuming more 3B1 bandwidth on this.
