I got speakup 0.10 up and running with my speakout and I like those /proc/speakup parameters. I do have one question though. I would like to add some letters to the tone value range as for the speakout A through Z are valid. I wanted to use J but speakup says that is out of range. Is there any reason we can't expand this range? If I want to do it for myself, where do I make the changes? Thanks for the help. BTW, I can't seem to send control chars by echoing them from the shell to /proc/speakup/speakout/direct.
