Hi, on the p 133 computer I have I had to go in to cmos and set the serial port. data bits stop bps and that. previously it was set to auto, but that didn't work. Check this and I know you want 9600 bod set. Pete Greetings, I am trying to get the Zipspeak package working with my DoubleTalk LT synthesizer on com1, but am not having much success. It was suggested that I append the speakup_ser]0 statement when starting the kernel, but this did not make any difference. When should I first start hearnig speech? Whatelse could I be doing wrong?
