Speakup/Festival Config Question

[Michael Curran]

Is having festival in server mode basically just:
festival --server &
?

Because if it is, there still seems to be something  very strange with
middleware. Perhaps I have the wrong version of festival?
But as I've said, it  no errors, logs on to festival fine, but it just
exits if I press a key (if speakup tries to speak).

I'm running the testing debian festival package (what ever that version
is, sorry am at uni).

I'm sure this speakup mod will be really cool when we finally get it
going :)
