No, you got the wrong IP, so it's hard to know whether you got the concept. To stick with my example, you would: telnet 192.168.1.11 The address 192.168.1.11 is the address of the machine where you're installing Fedora. Since it's telnet, whatever speech you would be using would depend on the system you're telnetting from, as always with telnet. If that happens to be Windows, then it will be your Windows screen reader.
