I would also make sure that you had the right boot disk for Red
Hat 6.2 and
the dectalk. I made the mistake myself when doing a Red Hat
install I had
grabbed the wrong Dectalk disk, and it didn't work until I got the
right
one.
However, I can assure you in most cases the Dectalk does work
under RH 6.2
and RH 7.
