RedHat 7 speakup installation?

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hello,
I am attempting to get up and running with RedHat 7 and speakup on a
Toshiba Tecra 8100.  I am using an Artic Transport synthesizer and the
acntsap.bin boot disk.
The install procedure talks and completes quite nicely; however, once my
system reboots into linux, I don't get any speech.  Is my Linux
installation making use of the Kernel from the boot disk?  If not, what do
I need to do at this point?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

Al
