Perhaps someone else on this list might like to correct me if I'm wrong: but you might like to try following the synthesizer keyword with a space, followed by speakup.ser=N where N is a number from 0 to however many ports you have. So, if you only have com1, you'd use 0, as in the unix world, all ports start at 0. Sorry, at the moment things are a bit busy with a new guide dog, and I do not have immediate access to the help file right now.
