I made the mistake myself when doing a Red Hat install I had grabbed the wrong Dectalk disk, and it didn't work until I got the right one. However, I can assure you in most cases the Dectalk does work under RH 6.2 and RH 7. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@xxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Cc: "SPEAKUP Distribution List" <speakup at speech.braille.uwo.ca>; "MIKE CALVO" <mike at radiowebcaster.com> Sent: Friday, January 19, 2001 10:34 AM Subject: Re: speakup on red hat 6.2 > > David: > > You don't say what system you're trying to work with or how the DEC Talk > is connected, so it can be a bit difficult to give you specific advice. > Let me make two suggestions: > > 1.)
