Vic: I had the same problem with my IBM Thinkpad 560Z. The issue turned out to be that the serial port on the backplane of the Thinkpad was being seen by Linux as ttyS1. Seems the irda port on the front plane is ttyS0. So, the fix was to add the following at the boot prompt: speakup_ser=1 so my boot prompt response became: text speakup_ser=1 That did it.
