I've given up on the AsanteTalk device. I never did see it show up on an nbplkup listing, although it certainly seems to be functional, and reportedly was functional when it was last used years ago.

I also never saw it show up on Chooser. I don't know if it should have, tho.

I'm planning to list it on eBay, but if anyone here wants to buy it for $20+shipping, let me know. I'd also consider a trade, for something else that might be useful to me, as the proud owner of a 4MB Powerbook 230 Duo.
