Hi Zachary, Thanks for the suggestion. Been a while since I've played around with Dos EMU. Actually, been a long time since I touched Speakup as well for that matter as I absolutely hate having to recompile the entire kernel just to install a screen reader. So I've tended not to mess with Speakup. Of course there is Vinux, but I don't have that installed. Just the stock Ubuntu distribution.
