Speech dispatcher/Speechdup with FC2 w/2.6.6

[Vic Beckley]

Hi Hynek,

I am having about the same problem as the person who initiated this subject.  When I do spd-say with some text, My Internet connection dials the modem and nothing else happens.  Eventually, I have to do ctrl-c to get back to the prompt.  I tried the steps you listed below with the following results.

then I tried changing it to festival instead of Flite.  Now I don't get the error about the festival server, but it just goes dead in the water like Flite did before.  I have to press ctrl-c to get away from the blank line back to the prompt.What might be wrong?
