speakup serial ports

Hi Greg,

That's a possible path too. Thanks. But I think what we'll do first is 
put the synth on ttyS0 and the braille device on ttyS4 and see if we can 
bring it up that way. I imagine Kirk meant 0 to 3, the first four ports, 
instead of 0 to 4. This is awkward since the user is 35 miles from here 
with a dead system and my wife, who loves to talk, is on the only phone 
we have here. 

So, stay tuned! <smile>
