Hi Michael, Thanks for your tips. The reason why I don't use the native espeak module, is because I've found that the espeak module will block /dev/dsp even though I have set it to use the alsa driver. I also like to custemise the generic espeak module so that the afrikaans (my native language) is on voice 1, and en-r on voice 0. I have not found a way to do it with the native espeak module. One can change the lang parameter, but sadly there is not a lang file in the /proc/speakup directory like there is with the apollo. I have also disabled all the other modules in speechd.conf, festival and flite would block the oss devices as well. I have now rased the log level to 5, but strangely it didn't crash after that! Hope it stay that way. Take care, Rynhardt * Michael Whapples <mwhapples at aim.com> [080120 20:20]: > This sounds quite odd.
