Tim,

Adding speech is really a feature of implementing that in the terminal
emulator and/or telnet client one is using.  And that is really just reading
the text.

Unfortunately, that is something beyond something I would want to even
attempt.  I say that because the string parsing to separate something like
ANSI escape sequences from the rest of the text would definitely be a
challenge.

Now, if someone were to identify something in the ANSI protocol that enables
speech, that would put things a bit closer into reach.  However, if something
like that is not in the ANSI protocol, more of a challenge.

All the present TI/Geneve telnet and terminal emulators do not have have
anything like that, and only PORT has the potential to play music on the
Geneve though I have never heard a tune played yet.

If speech were included, it would definitely have to be something of few
words instead of everything on the whole BBS, as otherwise one's speed would
turn to a crawl.

If you have some ideas, I will listen.
