If it is for a voice mate, it is just an adapter using pins 2, 3, and ground. It would probibly not work with anyther device because the computer would expect to recieve checksum bits as it sent data. If you can just send data as text, no protocals, (cat myfile > /dev/ttyS0), then cat /dev/ttyS0 > myfile), it may work. You'll have to try it. Bare in mind that it may not be for the voice mate, I just have a cable that fits that description and it's for my voice mate. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Gregory Nowak Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 2:25 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
