speakup wierdness answers

[tyler spivey]

i cant afford a synth right now, and i dont like transmitting at 19.2k baud 
with my crappy uart.
so i am trying to make speakup think decpc is a decext by setting screen 
capture to its emulated port.
i am just trying to make it send all its info to my dectalk,
ignoring any input from the synth because speakup doesn't use indexing i 
dont think.
so i set up my screen capture to raw mode and speakup doesnt seem to send a 
null to the synthasizer when it is done speaking.
if it did that i think this would work.
i think a new feature in speakup would be a way to zap cmds to a synth like 
dos screen readers.
and why isn't the shut up cmd recognized? like in the other synths it'll 
shut up, but mine just keeps
babaling.  i think it shut up after about 3 minutes of its boot messages.
