What about trying festival lite? Or even viavoice. now, granted, if you are on Redhat, then I understand viavoice to be a pain to install... matt Campbell did it for me, but he practicly from what I understood, partially had to recompile the source to match the kurnel in redhat 9. these are just a few options though that are free.
