And to round this one up, I use erc, a Emacs based irc client which also can interact with Emacspeak and read you all the traffic automagically. If you use debian, apt-get install erc should be enough. Read commentary in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/erc/erc-speak.el to get erc-speak started. -- CYa, Mario _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
