Your question about AT's is outside my experience, but I can answer this one.

In whatever directory you originally found freemacs, there should have been
a file called speller.arc.  This file contains the speller.  Get this file.
If you already have it, run speller.com BEFORE RUNNING EMACS.  The spell
checker is a TSR.  Then load emacs.  Now M-x auto-spell-check will invoke
auto spell checking.  Basically, emacs calls the speller in some arcane 
fashion of its own based on one of its Mint primitives.  I wrote a spell
check mode myself for a previous version of freemacs, but 1.5e has one
of its own.  I now use that for compatibility purposes.
