The new version of TalkBack (written exclusively for 3.0) eliminates this  
need. We decided to release the 2.1 version free, with any necessary  
changes for 3.0. Unfortunately, Speaker/Listener behaviour has changed  
under 3.0 to the extent that it became necessary to have Public Window  
Server turned on. The new version will fix this entirely.
