In the earlier kernels, it needed serial irq sharing enabled, the many ports option enabled and it showed up as /dev/ttyS4. From what I can recall, it still does need those options in the kernel, but now shows up as /dev/ttyS1 in a system with only one on-board serial port. It might be possible that your card is showing up as something higher then /dev/ttyS3, in which case, speakup won't talk to it, unless you modify the speakup code. Until I know what dmesg says about your serial configuration, if anything, I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Sorry I can't be of much help, maybe someone else would be able to tell you more.
