Fedora 6 and Speakup on New Thinkpad

[Beth Hatch]

Hello Erik and all,

Thanks for your message.  Yes, I have seen the messages about installing 
Fedora via Telnet, that is definitely an option to consider.  As I am 
using this laptop for work and school purposes, I may need to use the 
Dectalk express with Speakup as well as speakup using software, this is 
all an experiment so far, I haven't really figured everything out yet.  
I just wanted some input while I play with things and try to make them 
work.<smile>

Thanks,

Beth
