| Well, thank you very much for the kind words about your adventures in

| We have rough support for cursoring and an accessable device
| /dev/synth in the current version of speakup in cvs.  It is still
| pretty rough however but it is certainly coming along.  Anyone that is
| interested in playing with the cvs can drop me a note and I will send
| out a script they can use to download and patch the cvs version into a
| clean full source kernel.
|
| If the folks already using the cvs version think the script is stable
| enough, I could post it to the list and place it on the ftp area.
