No, unfortunately not. Speakup talks to the UARTs on serial ports directly, bypassing the kernel serial and tty subsystem. And it is this fact that I fear may be a problem with the PCI card. I don't think it will work with speakup at all. If you have other serial ports, what I'd do is move one device off one of those onto the PCI serial card, and put the synth on one of the serial ports on the main motherboard. I say this because a PCI serial card is very likely not to have been assigned standard I/O and IRQ settings of a normal serial port. hth - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso at themuso.com Jabber: themuso at jabber.org.au -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFWF5YjVefwtBjIM4RAuGQAJ4y652Gqj1Lvt0bMuvH8X2Ug4D/XwCgz5Mw mKsF++EjvVsG8om0LTz3s68= =tmYY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
