Steve,

 > Emacspeak doesn't seem to be supported on Slackware

Emacspeak is in the extras directory

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/extra/emacspeak-16.0/
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/extra/emacspeak-ss-1.9.1/

It also builds easily from the source tarball on slackware.
It's tricky to get it working with ViaVoice though.
