Hi, Please help! I've downloaded the Redhat 7.1 speakup enabled distribution from ftp://198.172.228.165/pub/linux/rh7.1/iso >From this distribution I've created a boot disk using the boot.img image file. At the boot prompt, I entered: text speakup_synth=dectlk (I have a dec express external on com1) guess what? still no speech! What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance Regards Mo.
