It should work. Try resetting the AsanteTalk and try again.

************************* Usual disclaimers apply *************************
glitch /glich/: [very common; from German `glitschig' slippery, via Yiddish
`glitshen', to slide or skid] 1. n. A sudden interruption in electric
service, sanity, continuity, or program function. Sometimes recoverable. An
interruption in electric service is specifically called a `power glitch'
(also power hit), of grave concern because it usually crashes all the
computers. In jargon, though, a hacker who got to the middle of a sentence
and then forgot how he or she intended to complete it might say, "Sorry, I
just glitched". 2. vi. To commit a glitch. See gritch. 3. vt. [Stanford] To
scroll a display screen, esp. several lines at a time. WAITS terminals used
to do this in order to avoid continuous scrolling, which is distracting to
the eye. 4. obs. Same as magic cookie, sense 2.
