Laura, ol' buddy ol' pal o' mine, you're turning up in the oddest places, aren't you? Welcome to the insanity :) Someone else will have to address Speakup with a software synth (seems most people prefer the software DECTalk--I haven't tried to get this working), but it seems Bill Acker keeps the Fedora stuff more up-to-date than just about any of the others are. Your best bet for getting up and running PDQ is probably Fedora or Slackware, as both have Speakup readily and quickly available. Debian does, too, and that's what I'm using now, but you'll probably find the best documentation on Fedora with Janina's Speakup howto, whose URL is...uh...well, it's posted here somewhere (I don't have it right in front of me). I'm fixing to change my system from Debian unstable to Ubuntu (www.ubuntulinux.org). Not sure if they have Speakup, but I'm gonna see if I can help get Speakup in if'n it doesn't. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | Alena Grace's proud papa!
