Kernel patches for speakup-enabled Redhat?

[Janina Sajka]

Dear Michael:

As long as you get your new kernel rpm at:

http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/9/RPMS

you will retain Speakup.

PS: You might want to consider upgrading to the Speakup Modified Fedora
Core available at:

http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/

Fedora has taken the place of Red Hat in consumer Linux. In other words,
upgrading Red Hat 9 means installing Fedora Core 1.0.

I'm glad to hear this is working well for you.
