It is plenty long enough for the synth to respond if it is going to though. If you have used the speakup_ser option then the timer isn't used anyway. > as well, if the cable is damaged a bit, it may take longer for the synth to > send a response string. > What would you say? No. If the cable is damaged then it will probably not work. If it has a lose connection or two then the problem will be intermittent so it will work sometimes but not others. As far as I know, damaged cables don't slow down electrons. You might want to ask Bill if he has built the newer Redhat 6.2 images with the newest speakup_ltlk driver. I've changed the way the synth is detected. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
