i cant afford a synth right now, and i dont like transmitting at 19.2k baud with my crappy uart. so i am trying to make speakup think decpc is a decext by setting screen capture to its emulated port. i am just trying to make it send all its info to my dectalk, ignoring any input from the synth because speakup doesn't use indexing i dont think. so i set up my screen capture to raw mode and speakup doesnt seem to send a null to the synthasizer when it is done speaking. if it did that i think this would work. i think a new feature in speakup would be a way to zap cmds to a synth like dos screen readers. and why isn't the shut up cmd recognized? like in the other synths it'll shut up, but mine just keeps babaling. i think it shut up after about 3 minutes of its boot messages.
