[Octavian Rasnita]

Do you know if I can use speakup with a Dec Talk PC 1 internal  sinth?
I have Red Hat 7.2.
I find emacspeak hard to use and I use my Linux machine  with a Windows
terminal (SecureCRT) from another computer.

Thank you.

Teddy,
My dear email address is orasnita at yahoo.com

Hi. You need to have a hardware synth to use speakup.  If you want a
recomendation for a linux distribution, I would recomend Slackware
http://www.slackware.com or Debian http://www.debian.org>.  There is a MP3
file on the speakup ftp server which will help you install debian, located
at ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/linux/goodies/audio-files/ and the files are
named debinstall_1.mp3 and debinstall_2.mp3 I think.
Hope this helps,
Alex Snow
