You can use the external synths apollo2 or infovox 700 with sbl, any other external synth can easily be added, the only requirement is that the synth is connected via a serial interface (/dev/ttyS*) to the computer. Also we made an interface called mbrola4sbl. With this pakage it is posible to use mbrola with SuSE-blinux. But at the moment you should also have a brailledevice to use sbl. thats because of the navigation over the screnn... While using kernel 2.4 it's not posible for us to get the screennavigation only working with the pc-keyboard, with kernel 2.2.x it works, there we had a patch to read out the keycommands.
