I managed to spent a few more minutes with IBM's Via Voice for linux and it appears to work on my system. The draw back is that I don't have a high quality mic right now with me (will have to dig around in my boxes for one).
Pertinent information about my system: 1 FreeBSD 4.0 current as of a couple of weeks old 2 GUS PnP with Voxware sound driver (full duplex mode) 3 downloaded the following linux rpms: 4. installed the latest linux_lib port 5 installed rpm2cpio port 6. downloaded the following rpm pacakges location what ftp.redhat.com libstdc++-2.9.0-12.i386.rpm www.lesstiff.org lesstif-0.86.9-linux.tar.gz cd /compat/linux rpmcpio <rpm package> | cpio --extract --make-directories --verbose 7. and of course download ViaVoice from : http://www.software.ibm.com/is/voicetype/dev_linux.html To install follow the instructions above for linux rpm packages 8. Run the audio setup program: /compat/linux/usr/bin/audiog Caveat : you may have to play with "mixer" to properly adjust your microphone input.
