Hi, I'm having a bad day - I've just sent a message to the list describing my network and didn't include the Windows 2000 server. This server runs DHCP and WINS, but no DNS (mainly because I don't know how to configure it). I guess I'm suffering from MS-itis - I'm used to wizard-driven installation where you can make some (semi)-intelligent guesses and get it running. I'm finding the Linux thing interesting, but very confusing because it's such a different way of doing things. Sorry to be a time-wasting pain in the ass.

In order to use the speakup 0.10a tar ball, You need to downgrade to kernel 2.4.6. 0.10a only works with kernels 2.2.18-2.4.6.
