I use dOS because there is no speakup driver for the reading edge.

Again, what speakup synthesizer are you using? i.e. what is the value
of /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth ? Does the reading edge honor
rts/cts handshake?

I am unsure how this matters for my case. I have an actual 9 pin
port, no USB involved. That 9 pin is connected via cable to the
back of my reading edge...I make sure all of my computers have
actual serial hardware.

correctly on all USB to serial adapters.
In my experience those that are made with the FTTDI chipset are
the best, while the PL2303 devices are worse than useless.
The synth needs to be able to tell the computer when to stop
sending until the synth is ready to accept more. If this does
not happen it can result in garbled speech.

Hi folks,
for those who use serial synthesizers, what can cause garbled characters
to be sent to the synthesizer?
they are not on the screen, and I am trying to troubleshoot how, with
two different computers the problem starts after a while.
Thanks,
Karen
