i have yet to learn what lynx 32 requires. I am using lynx386, a kit which
uses v 2.8.1 of lynx. i am presently runing DOS but am considering
integrating linux.

i will try and explain. with some program the speech is writen to the bios,
allowing for automatic, or almost automatic output. for example net-tame
has a function that allows for this. granted, i can get wonderful speech
when i use my speech commands, and when i move the cerser keys. but it will
not read on its own. i hope that is more clear. do you get such speech,
and if so what programs are you using? i am new to this list, and as i
said, still getting a sens of the various personifications of lynx.
as to hardwhere, i have both a dec-talk express and a readingedge. i am
presently using the edge at the moment. i am runing busines vision/
wind-vision by artic.

with direct access or as an off-line decoder?
There are several tweaks in your autoexec as

hope this helps some,
make your own kind of music!
