Compiling My Kernel -- still having trouble

If I understand you correctly, you're applying speakup 1.5 to a fresh
kernel source tree, and then applying cvs speakup to that. If so, then
don't do that, apply cvs speakup directly to a fresh kernel source
tree.

Also, if you're up to it, move up to the newest 2.4 kernel, which is
2.4.26, since 2.4.22 has some security issues. If you're not up to it,
then I would recommend that you get your build of 2.4.22 working first
entirely, then use make oldconfig with your 2.4.22 config file to
upgrade to 2.4.26. 

Also, why are you using telnet instead of ssh, since ssh is more
secure?
