Well, it depends on your distribution. On a Gentoo system, you can edit /etc/conf.d/espeakup, there's a variable there which you can use to change the voice the daemon uses. Once you change it, you can just do /etc/init.d/espeakup restart to implement the change. I imagine other distributions have a similar procedure, yes? At the very least, you can just edit your init script to pass the --default-voice argument to espeakup when it starts. -- "All models are wrong, but some are useful." George E. P. Box Joseph C.
