Yesterday turns out to have been a bad time to try to install gnome-orca. 
The show stopper turned out to be an upgrade to libc6 that couldn't erase 
the previous version of libc6 and install itself correctly.  That of 
course stopped locales from being upgraded and those two together blocked 
the rest of the upgrade to unstable from stable.  Will try on another day 
and see if I get lucky then.  gnopernicus is what would be installed on 
debian stable, but not knowing for sure if the installation had been good 
that gnopernicus would work I tried for unstable and gnome-orca without 
success.  For now the dsl modem is having issues and may or may not be 
able to be straightened out later this week.  So I'm using dial up and dos 
to send this email.  I'll check the debian disk and see if it has any 
console modem programs later.  An interesting find I made and it's on the 
debian distribution speakup disk though is localepurge.  This package 
allows you to select which locales you want protected and to remain on 
your system.  When next you update your system, and each time you update 
your system after that all unprotected locales get deleted.  Can be 
helpful for those a little tight on disk space.
