Scott,
I assume that you only set the "WAVE ENGINE" Parameter
of the TTS Item to "... (for Telephone)" ?
You worried me with the "using msttsl" comment below.

FYI: My 66MHZ/W95 only stutters occasionally.
Perhaps W98 is using more CPU time.

the system doing other things....Thanks Mark).  But, I have an Aztec 2320 card.  I tried
win98 and went back to win95, but the sound card breaks up the speech when talking.
 I have changed it to the "telephone" voice (8 khz) (using msttsl.exe), and this did
not make a diff.  I am thinking that I have a cheap sound card that I might want to
replace.  It is about 5-6 years old.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I might just
give up and change to a pentium 200 or so.  The new html manual takes about 3-4 minutes
to load with ie 3.02 on this 486 (just fyi).
