it can handle it most of the time. however, JAWS (the package I now use) 
gets flaky with some web
pages that can get embedded in mails. I have taken this matter up with 
freedom scientific, but they are
slow to respond to such things...

I just wish that speech synthesis wasn't such a nitch market thing, the 
prices would be substantially lower
and the software loads better. I am taking a look at the newest knoppix, 
but as of this date, I don't know
if it'll support the card that JAWS uses.
