I have a working DECtalk DTC01. What a beauty! However, I don't know how to properly hook it to my MicroVAX 3100. The port I plug it into comes through as device TTA0: in VMS. And, no, that's not the console port due to the position of the break enable switch on the machine. But that's a 3100 detail. So, if the DECtalk is simply connected to the TTA0 port and switched on, it's clear it's getting the VMS login prompt, because it tries to speak it. Is there some way I should be telling VMS that there's not a terminal on that port and not to attempt to log in a user on that port? Is this necessary for the DECtalk? For those of you familiar with the MicroVAX 3100, TTA0 is the first of the three MMJ plugs on the back. It's labeled "1" on the actual machine box.
