Hi folks,

although I didn't read the initial note from Kevin, I have read many of 
your responses and based solely on them I think I know what Kevin is 
asking, so let me give it a try.

summary, I believe Kevin is wondering if he could connect from his Windows 
workstation to a Linux environment which has Speakup install on to and be 
able to use the speech from the linux environment work across the network 
on his Windows workstation.

Assuming the above summary is correct, and yes that's a big assumption!
What Kevin is asking about is what we refer to as a Thin-client environment 
such as is used with the Microsoft Terminal server or the Citrix Metaframe 
environment.  In both these cases all apps, are installed and driven from 
the server with only the (video, keyboard and mouse stokes and in this case 
speech) sent across the network to the individual workstation.  In answer 
to someone elses inquiry if this uses considerable bandwidth the answer is 
no, that's why we call it a Thin-Client.

Now, although I'm new to the linux environment, to the best of my limited 
knowledge a terminal server product is not yet available for the linux 
platform.  However with the speed in which products are being developped 
for Linux, you may only have to wait six months and one will be available.

... now if I'm way off base here, sorry for the inconvenience and you may 
ignore.
