Okay. I am using a DEC Express (old) running on a serial port of course. I can rebuild this, and give you a full kernel config if you want it; but I'll wait to hear whether there are any specific tests you want me to run (E.G. modular/non-modular, different premption models, etc.). The config from when it happened last time is here: http://suntzu.tacticus.com/config-2.6.18-speakup4 Having tested it again, I note that on all of these git speakup versions from the last week, after it says "DECTalk Express found" (first spoken message, now that I have changed speakup_synth to speakup.synth), there is a long delay, and we are into network card detection before it actually starts talking again. That is important here, because for the flush modified version, I am unable to shut the speech up right away from my USB keyboard, and by the time I can, the thing has choked, and even after it does shut up, it takes me nearly 45 seconds of hitting review keys (between numpad 2 and numpad enter) before the speech will come back. When it does, of course, it is sluggish as I have described. Just for fun, I entered speakup help, and every key pressed was exhibiting that half second or so delay. Not so outside of speakup help, when at least the non-speakup keys would speak at their normal responsiveness level. HTH Luke
