The two problems that the RH folks, Matt Wilson in particular, mentioned 
have been fixed.  The problem with non-English keyboards, and 
modularization.  Only $DEITY knows if RH will ever put it back into the 
kernel.  Kernels for all supported versions of RHL/Fedora can be found at 
ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/disks/redhat/.  Complete Speakup enabled ISO 
images for 8.0 and 9 can also be found there.  When FC-1 is released, I'll 
build them also.  BTW, the ISO's for 9 are fully up to date.  The latest 
version can have its modules manually included in an initrd.img file so it 
starts upon boot.

          HTH.
