If you have an external 9-pin port, meaning one that wasn't on the board,
you have to make sure that they get a true serial port, and not a USB to
serial port thing or a port without the cross wires. Some of these legacy
devices won't work at all on those.
HTH, D!!J!X!

I have a DoubleTalk LT that ran on dos for years, so how do I get something
it understands to come out the serial plug of a modern computer.
I hooked it to a Win 7 64 computer and heard nothing, nada, zilch, except
that sad long suffering tone when it says DoubleTalk Ready when I switch it
on. smile.
It has its own internal drivers for dos, that was its great feature, didn't
need a certain baud rate, duplex or half duplex, whatever, sent from
VocalEyes.
