It didn't come with redhat 7.2 and I'm pretty sure didn't come with redhat 7.3 either. Nor did it come with slackware 7 or 8. What did come with slackware 8.0 was speakup and that's a different screen reader. viavoice has to be downloaded from a web location starting at redhat. Even so parts of it you download claim to be a 30 day demo though they may actually be what will work permanently with viavoice. speakup kernels support about 8 or 9 different hardware speech synthesizers but don't detect them without a little assistance from the user on installation. I'm about to replace red hat over here since it just can't seem to do ethernet properly with slackware 8.0 and find out if I have any better luck today. x On Sun, 1 Sep 2002, Michael Weaver wrote: > Hi! > I read in some information about Emacspeak that it comes with many of the > major distributions of Linux. > If this is the case, do the distributions sold come with the components > necessary to use Emacspeak for example VierViavoice? > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list >
