 From the `esound.sgml':

    <sect1 id=3D"environment-variables">
      <title>Environment Variables</title>

      <para>
	All client programs (except esdctl) can connect to remote hosts via
	the <envar>ESPEAKER</envar> environment variable: =


	<literallayout>
	  <prompt>bash $ </prompt><userinput>export ESPEAKER=3Dinet.addr.of.host:p=
ort</userinput>

	  <prompt>tcsh &gt; </prompt><userinput>setenv ESPEAKER inet.addr.of.host:=
port</userinput>
	</literallayout>

	The client will connect to EsounD running on the specified host on the
	specified port.
      </para>

    </sect1>
