I have no problem with folks using x, neither do I think that console access only is the answer. Don't start jumping on me for asking a legitimate question. As of yet, there is nothing (I repeat) nothing for just plain shell/console users of linux to give us speech access. That is what I wanted, and that is what my question was. Now if you think that's boring, that's fine, but I (and several others I know) would welcome such a thing. Emacspeak is for x-windows, what is there for normal shell users? The answer is nothing. Now by your own words, let's keep as many discussions going as possible. Well, this is one of those discussions. Now, as I asked before, does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?
