I'm still working on building the speechd-up debian package but here is a link to the init.d script: http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/debian/speechd-up.sh It assumes the software speech driver is compiled as a module. But I think that if the driver is compiled into the kernel, you get an error message but no harm is done. I haven't tested that though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry D.
