hi al, i have been using speakup for 24 hours now and like it. a 
friend of mine also has seen me use it and also likes the idea of it. 
however, he does not have a hardware synth, and he asked me to 
ask the list whether getting software speech under linux is far 
away? i heard that you, kirk and andy, are redesigning speakup, so 
would there be something that works vaguely in the near future 
(near=a month or so)!
keep up the good work, saqib
