No way! I say, "Keep /proc/speakup." I think these /proc systems are a real powerful thing. Lots to learn about them but I see a lot of potential here. -----Original Message----- From: Tyler Spivey [mailto:tyler@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 7:14 PM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: re: /proc/speakup /proc/speakup was a bad idea. because: 1. if a hacker gained root, you couldn't turn off the net or something without speech. (if someone shut it off) i think a keypad configuration system would be in order. use one of the unused keys, or see if numlock is on/off, and if its one way, use rate pitch and volume on the keypad. check if scroll lock is on (no one uses it) and do other things. scroll+num, +caps. things like that. just my 2 sents. and i'm looking for someone that can give me free synths, (i almost had one, but the guy got really mad and ignores me). _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
