Hi Willie: I suspect you may be right regarding the potential
increase of errors when speech is used totally while downloading.
However I have not experienced that in the five years that I have
been using computers though I hasten to say that I am far less
experienced than  most of you. I use zmodem and Listen to the first
two downloaded blocks and then turn the speech off. For those who
lack confidence they could at least start the speech and once they
see that things are working ok they could turn the speech off. After
all most software alarms when the download is finished so for most
that should work. Interesting thoughts Willie and thanks.
