On that note, I've been wondering if there is a program that will do text to speech output under FreeBSD. I'd like the machine to be able to "speak" during certain events when screwing up the display or putting messages in syslog aren't really necessary -- like reporting who has just sent e-mail so I can either keep working or handle my mailbox right away (of course, maybe I'd have it report mail only from certain individuals so the damn machine wouldn't be jabbering constantly).
