There is no driver. You can't fudge it. It won't work. You can't redirect to an emulated port, even if you could how are you going to get the information back? A dectalk pc is not a dectalk express with no serial port; it is a different beast. What you are trying to do is impossible. Doubletalks are cheap they work well and are reliable, consider saving for one. Your dectalk PC will not work under speakup at this time no matter how many cables you hook up or cludges you implement. It can't happen. Speakup does not implement a raw ascii interface to the synthisizer with no control codes because there is no way to silence the synth. If you want raw text to a serial port use a serial console. Linux _can_ show everything on a serial port and if you have a null modem cable serial console is the way to go. If you can't buy more hardware; you'll have to use a serial console and what you have currently.
