The website is www.linguatronics.com. I work for Thomas Nelson Community College in Virginia. It wroks fairly well, and the support is responsive. I wished the manual written for the program was designed as training the instructors on using the system in the way they are use to using previous language labs with tape decks. The manual tells you hownto use each button, but not to incorporate everything to together. There is also an competitor version from Sony called Soloist. I believe Xavier University was using it before the hurricane hit New Orleans. Hope this helps.

I responded with information about IALLT and its resources, mentioning Jack Burston's volume on Digital Language Lab solutions, but I added that if she was under time pressures that didn't allow her to wait for the acquisition of that volume I'd be happy to post her inquiry to this list -- which she then asked me to do (see below). Please, if you can help her, write to her directly, not to me or to LLTI, of which she is not [yet] a reader. It's nice to think that we too can provide some very specific help in our field, in addition to making financial contributions to disaster relief.
