this is old and irrelevant. Bill and Janina got me up and running last Sunday, and this post was sent prior to that. Nick On Sun, 12 Dec 2004 11:59:35 -0600, W.

I've tried the "modprobe speakup_decext" with myriad variations to force it to "ser=0", as that was what was necessary to get it to work initially. I'm not getting speech, but I do believe we're up and as soon as I got the low "beep" I used "left ctl-alt-f1", followed by "root" and "enter" then my password and "enter". I get the "beep" when I hit the backspace key, and if I type something, I have to press backspace the number of characters I've entered to get back to the left margin beep. What am I missing here, and is there another approach to try? For instance, a way to use the boot disc to get speech up, then, log into Linux?
