Re: dectalk etc. vs soundblaster (fwd)

Still slightly off topic but yes Jaws and provox to name two oh and provox
is a free speech for dos you can actually get the code.  

I think if someone could make a text driver like the text assest in dos
for linux it would work much better since the OS is made to do more than
one thing.  It shouldn't hog the machines time like it does in dos.  Of
corse we will all have to wait and see.
