Transport Classic and Redhat 7.0

Hello all: 

After typing, text speakup_synth=txprt at the boot prompt, as was suggested, nothing happened.  
I then type the alternative, text speakup_synth=txprt speakup_ser=0, again nothing happened.  
I didn't have my distribution in my CD drive because I wanted to get an output from the Transport first.  A kind of dipping my foot in the water sanaireo.     
Is it absolutely necessary to have my distribution in the CD drive in this case? 
Would the fact that I'm currently using Win 95's dos present a problem? 
Should the Transport Operating System (Tos) be installed?  
In order to do that, I'll have to create a dos boot disk, boot from that, switch to the Tos disk, type tos at the prompt, to install the Tos program.  Then I'll have to switch to the Redhat 7.0 txprt boot disk.  
The reason for all of these proposed steps is because Tos won't run on 95.  

Some one please clarify this up for me: 

Best regards to all: 
Michael

I don't know if this would help, but the transports can emulate the accent external synthesizers. You might try telling it you have an external accent if it supports that.

Before you boot into linux; you must turn your transport off and on.
If you don't; speakup won't find it.
When you reboot Linux you also have to power cycel the transport or it won't be found
when you reboot. Dont know why haven't looked into hit  yet.

Regards, Kerry.
