Hemant,

The RPM's and instructions you posted to the Wiki before *almost* 
worked.  Can we assume that you'll do something similar with your 
debugged RPMs while awaiting sponsorship?  Having my activity do TTS on 
a real XO would make a big difference to my project.  Not to mention 
that I could finally show my wife why I've been spending so much time in 
the basement programming.

Thanks,

James Simmons
