[Electronics-talk] No Longer Lurking; Dectalk

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

even if the serial port is not mounted on the back of your computer, many 
motherboards still have the header on the board.
you can also just purchase a pci card with serial and/or parallel 
connections that will allow an original dectalk box to be used.
