can you tell me more of VmWare?
Does it use SpeakUp?
I have a laptop, and I have tried several versions of Linux to try and boot 
to software speech, so I can access a hidden drive on my laptop, but neither 
distro allowed me to access my sound card.
I did order a USB to serial cable, so perhaps I could use my DecTalk Express 
with something.
