I'm sorry to be dense here, but what's the problem with the Trippletalk? I'm using both a Doubletalk LT and Trippletalk also on different machines and both work great. I recently upgraded to the latest Speakup from git on the machine running the Trippletalk and it kept on talking just fine. I've actually had more problems with the machine running the Doubletalk because the Speakup is older and still tries to probe for the synthesizer. Maybe I'm lucky and the breakage happened after the git version that I'm running, but it's within the last couple months. I can get the exact date if it matters. I'm running 64-bit Debian Lenny with a few packages from testing if that makes any difference. I'm going to try grml 2008.11 today and see what happens, but I'm not anticipating a problem. The only other thing I can add is that my Trippletalk is somewhat old, so perhaps it has older ROM firmware. I think Speakup says it's version 2.8. The Doubletalk LT is 5.20.
