Hi, I am new to Speakup, and I have been following the list for just a short while now. I want to learn whether the following is possible, and how to best accomplish it. First, some info about my Linux box. I have a very small PC installed with Redhat 7.1, kernal 2.4.2-12 running on a P133 with no CDROM. A friend set it up for me and I am currently using a serial connection from My Win98 PC. What I want to be able to do is to insert a floppy with Speakup and any necessary boot files and have Linux come up talking. Is this possible? If so, what do I need to get/do? I want to use a DEC Express on COM2, keeping the serial connection on COM1. If this is possible, and I thought it was from reading the list for just a short time, what files do I need? How do I use them? Any info out there detailing this process? I am sure there is info I have left out, so please ask any questions, and I will answer them to the best of my ability. Rememberr, I am new, never built a kernal, the more detailed your response, the better. Thank you in advance for helping another newbie get up and talking with Speakup! Jack
