-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I stand to be corrected, or someone else's experience may not match what I seem to recall, but I do seem to recall modifying a slackware boot floppy way back when, to launch agetty on /dev/usb/ttyS0, (or whatever the usb serial ports are called, I haven't used mine in a while). I seem to recall that it did work too. My recollection may be wrong though. How about using a serial port on a pcmcia card? If it's still possible to get those, they should work with speakup too I think.
