bob, i was more interested in something emulating a vt100 that one could eventually plug to a console port and chat with the box... from someone's post sooner in this thread it seemed that someone is using it out there... i like the idea of "talking" with the box while let's say driving a car... e.g. vocollect does something close to this but it's more an in-building solution than an over-the-phone stuff http://www.vocollect.com/sitehtml/products/talkman01.php maybe it would be worth making some mediation to pstn and a proxy app which could ssh the boxes :) -- Tomas Daniska systems engineer Tronet Computer Networks Plynarenska 5, 829 75 Bratislava, Slovakia tel: +421 2 58224111, fax: +421 2 58224199 A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.

I have a client HTTP://www.CORRS.ORG using several speech-synthesis terminals, they even have a brail printer on the network. I donate my eyes to them from time to time, but they get along very well on their own.

Message by the way - those speech-synthesis terminals were a just joke or is anyone really using them? :))
