No kidding! I didn't even know that via voice (the old voicetype) was
ever released for linux - I just loved to get os/2 warp4's manuals and
show to the others how to configure the system date, for instance:

- say "control panel"
- say whatever... 

Since that, no other system ever tried to use voice recognition that
much. And all it required was a pentiu,100 with 32mb ram!
