Hello, I just recently purchased a USB to serial cable, since my PC doesn't have a serial port and I have an old DecTalk Express. I'm trying to get speakup working on a Knoppix CD. I hear the sound "Initialising startup sequence" through my soundcard, but I'm not sure what's on the screen from their on. I press alt f2 to open a consul, type knoppix speakup_synth=dectlk but nothing happens. Also off topic here I'm also trying to get it going using JFW. I select DecTalk Express in the list of synths to use and configure, but when I go to select it, I hear a ding and speech via the soundcard stops. What can I do to fix the above problems? Thanks David Harvey
