Update to my asap and dosemu. If I run asap after turning off speakup in dosemu, the speechpad behaves correctly, except that I think speakup is also still there because I get some echos. If I go this route, I will have to get out the post again about modifying the references to serial in the speakup directory. However, if I start asap without having first had speakup on, the keypad doesn't function properly; it isn't in numeric mode but it also isn't fully in control of asap apparently.
