funny, but my situation was just the opisit. my double talk lt didn't work in win eyes or jaws but it worked in linux with speakup and emacsspeak. i called rc systems to ask a question on why and they tol me its cause win eyes and jaws use they're own drivers. they had me test my lt with hyperterm and it worked there. but only works with a screen reader in linux.

It seems to me that my ambition to install and learn the ins and outs of the linux OS has all but failed. I have copied the installation howto into braille to the letter as ready reference, done all that is required of me at the preparation stage, even did almost nothing else but tried to get FC3 installed for the past 2 days, but nothing seems to work. I can't even get past the first stage of text installation simply because speakup refuses to talk to my Dectalk express. I cannot say if my dectalk express is the source of the problem because it works very well with Wineyes and jaws even. I am totally stuck now and don't know what else I can do. Unless someone who has installed linux with the dectalk express synth is willing to help me, i'll have to shelf the idea of installing linux, at least for the foreseeable future.
