Hi Frank. I am at a loss then to know how to specify a speech synthesizer for SuSE to use. When I installed it, it auto-detected my Braille terminal, but nothing else. I can find only extremely poor documentation related to SuSE B-Linux, and no mention of speech synthesis anywhere. If you could give me a clue where to follow this up, I will be happy to do so, and very grateful. I think I'm going to have to stick with SuSE, as Slackware will not see my additional hard disks or I/O controller. I also have no idea where to locate Braille TTY, so I'm sort of stuck. I appreciate what you say about nobody else around here using SuSE, guess I'm on my own with that, <smile>. Thanks anyway.
