Hi again, Does anyone know why doing the following in the newDebian speakup moduele would caus an "Invalid argument" error? echo "6" > /sys/module/speakup/parameters/rate Actually, I can't access any of the module/synthesizer settings. Trying to change any of them returns an "Invalid argument" error. Tried putting "modprobe speakup_ltlk" in the /etc/modules file, but that didn't werk, so tried putting just "speakup_ltlk" in there, and it started speaking, anyway, but I can't control it. Thought it might be because my /etc/rc.local startup file was echoing to /proc/speakup and was hosing things, so I scripted a conditional feature into it: if [ uname -r = "2.6.18-4-speakup-686" ]; then echo "5" > /proc/speakup/rate else echo "5" > /sys/module/speakup/parameters/rate fi ...still no cigar. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Michael
