Do you mean you're now using Lynx32 or Lynx386? Or are you using Lynx on a
unix shell service that you dial into?

I get excellent speech from both Lynx32 and from Lynx on my unix shell
using asap and a Doubletalk internal speech synthesizer.

Can you say more? What do you mean by "full screen commands?" What speech
software and hardware do you use for speech?

Yes. Lynx32 can with a proper plugins/.mailcap file and a proper install
of Real Audio.There are several tweaks in your autoexec as well. Please
tell me the above, and I'll try to get your real audio up with you.
