I agree, don't take speakup out of the kernel -- I had something the other day, where I had the wrong ramdisk version and it would not load any modules, but I had speakup -- since my synth is built into the kernel and was able to figure out what happened -- if speakup were in user space I would have been sunk. But how about the following -- can we put a notify into the serial synth initialization so speakup would know when things were happening and could simulate an open for whatever device, or steal the port before the serial synth could do anything -- prefer the former if possible.
