/proc/speakup

[Raul A. Gallegos]

The best and most complete firewall is to get rid of the physical layer which is the first of 7 layers of osi networking.  Of course when you physically unplug 
your machne off the network you can't go anywhere either yourself.  What I'm getting at is that /proc/speakup isn't any more or less secure than anything 
else in /proc.
