Hi Tom:  Welcome to the list and don't worry about being redundant
with questions.  We tend to forget we answered them already anyway.

I am not really sure about this because I don't build the
distributions but I believe the decextb.bin may be for Dectalk
External instead of the Express.  I'm sure Bill Acker will correct me
if I'm wrong.  He is our resident Redhat expert.  Did you have speakup
running under Slackware?  If so and you have a kernel with speakup
laying arund from that you should be able to copy it into place on
your Redhat box.  Of course if you haven't managed to get Redhat
installed yet, ignore the man behind the curtin.

Good luck!
 Kirk

Problem withDec Express.

[Thomas Ward]

Hello, list. I will start by saying I am vary new to this list, and am not
aware if this question has been asked before.Anywhere here it is.
Recently I decided to switch from Slackware 7 to Redhat 7.0.
I have downloaded the decextb.bin file from the speakup ftp site, and my
Dec Express is on /dev/ttyS0.
However, when I put in the Redhat 7 boot disk it comes to a prompt which I
type the text command and it comes up into the installation without speech.
I am wondering what is wrong, or what I can do?
I know the express is working fine because it just worked under Slackware 7,
but when I try the Redhat 7 install I get no speech at all.Please help.
Thanks.

Hi, Kirk. Thanks. You are right I had the wrong install disk I should have
gotten dectlkb.bin instead of decextb.bin.
I tried the other file, and Redhat now works fine so far.   I am going to
redo the installation this weekend.
