Main advantages of SBL over Speakup

Samuel, do you mean there is no kernel convention for accessing serial 
ports or there is no speakup support for accessing serial ports according 
to kernel conventions?

It would be really great if speakup could use ttyS# devices, so speakup 
would work with modern motherboards that do not have built-in serial 
ports. The way I see it is speakup can only use software speech on modern 
computers, so unless it can access external serial ports or usb serial 
ports, there really is no advantage to speakup being in the kernel so far 
as I can tell...
