Thanks for your help I sincerely appreciate it. Ideally I would like to 
get fedora, orca and speakup working with ttsynth, or some hire quality 
synthesizer than e-speak Fedora 11 shipps with Festivol, when it is 
installed, and that was so slow... So I tried following the instructions 
for downloading gnome-speech on the orca website and got that done. Now, 
I need to get some kind of console access etc with a software 
synthesizer. I'd love to have my old dec-talk express and use that, but 
I no longer have serial ports on my computer so I'm limited to using a 
software synthe. I hope that makes sense...
Thanks
