Kernel patches for speakup-enabled Redhat?

Greetings. We've recently downloaded and installed linux speakup for the
first time. As we run mostly Redhat linux around here, we chose to
download the speakup-enabled version of Redhat, as found at:
http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/cdroms.html
This has worked very well, and the blind student who uses the system is
delighted with it.
I noticed today that there is a new version of the kernel available for
Redhat version 9. It's easy enough to get and install a new kernel from
the RPM's, but it looks as if doing that would "break" speakup.
Can any of you folks comment about this? Do we have to rebuild a custom,
speakup-enabled kernel? Or do the people that provided the ISO's for the
distribution make one available?
Thanks.
