New and in need of help. (fwd)

[Anna Schneider]

Okay, here I am again everyone.

Below is a message I sent to one person about my initial questions and 
system needs.  If answers to any of these questions have appeared on the 
list already, please don't feel that you have to reiterate.  I'm about to 
wade through two days worth of mail and have no idea what I'll find.

I just finished reading and taking notes on the Speakup installation 
document, and more questions will be coming shortly.

About joining the reflector, I don't think I can.  I have a very old DOS 
system, which may pose other problems actually.  i'm buying a new computer 
for Linux so that isn't the issue, but etting the installation information 
may be.  That will be in my other questions though.

Thank you again to everyone.
