speakup synth questions

[Christy Schulte]

Hi all,

Couple questions.
First, I have a friend who is interested in installing linux. She has an old telesensory reading edge machine that she thinks will act as an external dectalk synth, but isn't sure.  anyone know if this is true or not?

Second, anyone know where I can get information on how to get my internal dectalk working with speakup? The list of synths says it will work as a module, but how? 
Thanks.
Christy
