Unfortunately, it is not possible to use a DECtalk express, or any other serial synth with a serial to USB cable, as Speakup talks directly to the serial ports in the computer to access the synth. This is so that the synth can start speaking as soon as the kernel loads. Your only option I am affraid is software speech. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso at themuso.com ICQ: 18444344 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEEAtqjVefwtBjIM4RAst6AKDZaaZcVdqS9UO8ZwgqoXzDZNJKWQCdEgYx /hMIiy0lb17H/Sc0UnLiqV4= =w6fF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
