Hi Pierre,

Welcome to the list.  Hope you got the long winded  message I sent you 
direct last night on RTTY and JAWS.

AS for Digitalk:  A number of us on the list have either tried it or 
used it for PSK in the past.   Problem seems to be that it will only run 
on Windows 98.  Back in the early days of XP it crashed  after some 
Windows update or service pack update and has never worked properly  on 
any later Windows OS.    If you or your friends can get it running on XP 
or later, it would be interesting.

Another program to look at for PSK is Digipan.    Problem here is that 
JAWS repeats each  word in the sentance as new words are added.  Gets 
old real fast, but the program itself is JAWS friendly.   If you have 
some computer savy friends helping you, this may be the one to look at.

73, Steve KW3A
