speakup on red hat 6.2

[Janina Sajka]

David:

You don't say what system you're trying to work with or how the DEC Talk
is connected, so it can be a bit difficult to give you specific advice.
Let me make two suggestions:

1.)	You might want to consider Redhat 7.0 though this won't likely fix
your immediate problem;

2.)	You might try passing the following type of argument at the
non-speaking "Boot>" prompt that pops up early during the floppy boot
process:

	speakup_ser=1

If the kernel assigns ttyS0 to some port other than the one you've
connected DEC Talk to, even though you may think it should be ttyS0, it
won't work because you're not actually connecting. So, try pushing up the
serial port designation as above.

The invention of the printing press has been named the crowning
achievement of the past millennium. Yet, electronic publishing will soon
eclipse it. Read our White Paper: "Surpassing Gutenberg" available at:
