The Tosheba is one, sold by Vtek/Telesensory Systems Inc. They insist on putting Artic Software in it but..... As for adapting another kind yes, this is possible too, but I am not quite sure how. I think you are right when you say that a card would work. I know someone who has one and uses an external speech synthesizer. Ask Prof. Norm Coombs. You can contact him at the same address on the bottom of this missive. He's also on bitnet but his address escapes me at the moment. I like your signature line. Care to join the Good Ship Agape? We're a group of folks on here who watch out for each other and others as well. We use the image of a ship because it seems to work well. For example, I was "on watch" while Betty was away. She's got the tiller now, so to speak. We could use an Old Salt. Prayers are much appreciated. Check with Betty Draughon for further details. I think she has the roster. Our Captain is Christ. Come aboard? See you on-line. Ann P. (amdg) -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!260!204!Ann.Parsons Internet: Ann.Parsons@f204.n260.z1.fidonet.org
