I think I mentioned that in my original or a subsequent message.  Even
currently you can tell speakup where your synth is with the
speakup_ser=n option on the kernel command line.  N is any number
between 0 and three depending on how many serial ports you have
installed.

I wish it were this simple.  But! if you're volunteering to help... No problem!
