For anyone interested, I have rhel es 3 kernels available for i686 architecture. I've been using the kernel-smp package for over a month with a dectalk express synth. The only problem I've experienced is the synth sometimes gets stuck in high pitch capital mode, but manages to work itself out, especially if I move around letter by letter on the numpad. I don't believe the packages violate any licensing, as they were compiled from the source rpm. However, you will likely forfeit your Red Hat support if you use these kernels. I would also strongly urge you not to use these kernels on a production system and only use them on your personal workstation. You can get the packages at http://www.tabbweb.com/rhel-3-speakup/ You will need access to a machine that already has rhel 3 installed to use these packages. It is possible to rebuild the installer and cd's with the kernel-BOOT rpm. I did this, so I know it is possible to install rhel with speech. However, it would violate the rhel license if I distributed a speakup modified rhel, so I won't go there. But there are a lot of resources on the net for doing this if you're inclined. Enjoy, Trevor
