Hi all, Well, I've got Debian running on my desktop (laptop coming tomorrow <yay>). I have a problem though when I want to use the serial port for something else, namely when I want to use Emacs with Emacspeak running. I've run the Doubletalk speech-server on its own and the error I get is as follows: Error: stty: standard input: Input/output error while executing "exec stty sane 9600 raw -echo crtscts < $port " ("Linux" arm line 3) invoked from within "switch -exact -- $machine { DEC { #osf and ultrix exec stty sane 9600 raw -echo < $port exec stty ixon ixoff < $port } ..." (file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/servers/doubletalk" line 939) Naturally I tried this after both silencing Speakup with insert+keypad-enter and killing it altogether with ins+pause. I can do a stty on my other serial port (/dev/ttyS1) but can fire up Emacspeak without hastle, but doing a stty </dev/ttyS0 or anything like that yields the same breed of input/output error. Does someone know what's going on? Have I missed something crucial? Thankyou for your patience. Regards, Ben
