Problems with Speakup and Redhat

[Jason Custer]

Hi,
I have encountered a simular problem. I even tried the hardware handshake
stuff, and never got it to work. Bad file? bad disk? don't know. I just know
that there are now two of us. Maybe someone can shed some light on this
topic. I know I would be greatful.
Jason
