Linux is linux, that's one of the best things about it. What works on one work's on all. The question is whether there are speech-enabled boot disks for the distribution in question, so you could do a complete install with speech. What distribution do you have? There are bootdisks currently for debian, red hat, and slackware.

Note disk one and two is quite large. If you are not able to download the disks let me know, and for a small shipping fee I'll make you a copy of the isos on cd, and ship it to you.

I would also suggest that you're better off using an installation that already knows you will be using speech. It is likely that the 7.0 you have doesn't have speakup support because that isn't provided by Redhat yet.

* Re: Cable Modem ` Cable Modem Amanda Lee ` David Poehlman @ ` Kirk Wood ` Amanda Lee 1 sibling, 1 reply; 24+ messages in thread From: Kirk Wood @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Amanda, Chances are that your ip address is static even if given to the computer via dhcp. Check your ip address over the next several days to see if it stays still. If so, you can copy down the info you need from winipcfg. If not, still copy down the dns servers from winipcfg. The thing you need to make dhcp work with @home is simply the computer name. You must pass the computer name to dhcpcd to get an ip address back.

First, the second IP is just that. You can then put two computers on the internet. Second, there is nothing to keep you from using your @home connection to telecomute. They do not block any ports nor do they routinely monitor anything. As for the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) I just checked it. The only thing that could possibly be construed to prohibit using your service for telecomuting is that "The service may not be used for comercial purposes." I have never heard of such being used to say you can't connect to your corperate lan via vpn. Key thing here: relax and breath. If you don't cause harm, they don't give a rat's ass. Technically, I am hosting a server. But nobody has said anything over the past three years I have been doing so. I telnet to my home computer from work regularly. In the next week I will telnet from my brother's pc. Nobody cares. Just protect your machine and don't let it be a platform for someone to launch an attack. Don't try to run some industrial grade server. Not only will performance suck with 128Kbit upstream, it will piss someone off. Do use your internet connection for any person (including doing your personal work) thing you want. Just don't think you have a colocated server. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net "When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missle at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
