Red Hat 8 with Speakup

Thanks Ed.

The next question is should I put the

speakup_synth=dectlk

at the end of my current append line or should I make a new line?  Lilo was 
never one of my strong points with Linux--I've trashed a number of 
lilo.conf files in an attempt to install a new kernel.

Thanks,
Matt
