Some wanderings on the Internet tells me that :
1) IBM is no longer developing / supporting ViaVoice for linux
2) Though it is/was possible to actually *buy* shrinkwrapped 
ViaVoice for Linux from IBM, all relevant links are either deeply 
hidden from sight, or expunged from IBM's sites.

In short, it's probably still easier to find OS/2 aka eComStation, 
than it is to find IBM's Via Voice for Linux.

Trying this, I now get the following result:
root]#  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 xvoice
Environment not set. Looking for vvsetenv....found vvsetenv.
Restarting with new environment.
command line:
. vvsetenv; exec xvoice
Environment set.
xvoice version 0.9.5
initVoice: Error calling SMAPI function: 214

initVoice: xtermxtermxtermError calling SMAPI function: 200
This probably means you did not run '. vvsetenv' prior to running xvoice.
Do that and try again.

If I do: root]# vvsetenv, *before* I run the LD_ASSUME command,
I still get the same result: For a _very brief moment_ I see  a couple
of dialog windows pop up and disappear too quickly to even  *read*
anything on them, then the above error message shows.
