Also, If you download something like Knoppix, you can boot up to the CD, without installing, and know if it is the DecTalk causing the problems.

After all, fedora is not the only gnu/linux distribution out there. There are also: slackware: <http://www.slackware.com/>, debian: <http://www.debian.org/>, gentoo: <http://www.gentoo.org/> just to name a few. The best thing of course would be if a fedora user was able to help you solve your problems, and get up and running. However, if that doesn't happen, look at other distributions before deciding to quit on gnu/linux. The good news is that there are slackware, debian, and gentoo users on here as well.
