I too have this experience on a new setup  on RedHat 9.  The emacspeak
version on RH9 is only 17 which I am running now till everything else
is sorted out.

Yes.  This is curious about the laptop.  I too am running this on a
laptop.  A Toshiba Satellite (model unknown) if this helps.

The problem happens right after a cold booting of the machine and I am
able to start the speech server by doing the server restart within
emacspeak.

I chased down CVS versions of URL and W3 and installed them.  This
works fine too but will not start during the same session as the first
starting of emacspeak after a boot.  Supposing this might be due to
the reading of the emacs startup files being aborted prematurely.

In closing, I'll get a post out to this group if and when I discover
the problem or suitable work around.

Bye.
