Re: Open VXI 1.3 released

[<voice@mercury.tgflinux.com>]

Hello,

I could be too quick on the draw for downloading, but I get "You don't
have permission to access /openvxi/OpenVXI_1_3.tar.gz on this server."
Perhaps the file hasn't been uploaded yet, or the permissions are not
correct. In the former case, I'll just try again later.

BTW, I had been building a voice browser myself using Spidermonkey and
xerces (xml4c version). Seems like you guys are a bit ahead of me
 with the broser portion though. I'll be using Festival for tts and 
Sphinx2 for speech-rec (with via voice support later) to build an 
opensource voice browser. We'll use either my our company's telephony API
or Bayonne for the telephony, along with a /dev/audio interface for 
testing with soundcards. 

And yeah, It did take some hacking to get 1.2 to compile on Linux.

Thanks for the open source contribution.
