hi Igor, good to see you in here, well i think that i need more input on this i don't think that a usb to serial would help me because speakup does not use any usb ports yet, i might be wrong on this if i am someone please tell me. thanks randy On Mon, 1 Apr 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi Randy. Well I'm not sure if Dectalk express synths can still be obtained, but if you happen to dig one up, just get a usb2serial converter. Or a serial female2male adapter if your serial port happens to be female like the one on my laptop is. Also, a question to the listers. I'm planning on possibly replacing winblows on my laptop with Debian. If I get a USB2serial converter and plug it into the right-most port for instance, would it be refered to as ttys0?
