Hi, I just got through installing Slackware on another Linux box and this time, I used the boot disk with Speakup and so far, it is working great! I hope things pick up around this list, I haven't seen any posts since I signed up this past weekend. I use this on an old 486 with 32 meg of RAM and a Speakout synth. As I get more familiar with Speakup, I would like to be of some help in fixing this up to the next level. I would especially like to get the arrow keys to speak the character under them while moving around in editor programs. Cut/paste between virtual consules is another neet idea that sighted people would envy us for:) Well enough said for now - sure love having all this speech on a linux machine without having to connect a second computer. Happy Thanksgiving to youall in the U.S.
