telnet install of fedora core 2?

[Janina Sajka]

Telnet installation was broken in the official Fedora 2 release. Bill figured out a fix and applied it to the Speakup Modified, but that fix only wnet in sometime last week. Therefore, if you don't have the latest Speakup Modified release, you'll get exactly what you report. Please check your time-stamps.  Perhaps you should rsync? The file list should look like this:
