speech servers question

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Changing it does mean work ---however if there is a good reason to
justify the work
I might do it at some point.

It's likely to have a large impact because you'd have to go around
changing lots of conf files in the various packaged distribs, personal
custom files etc.
