I am trying to use the speakup.i boot disk from slackware and get no speech. I have put "ramdisk speakup_synth=ltlk" on the boot line. Of course I am using a doubletalk LT. is there something I am forgetting? I have also tried adding speakup_ser=0 sense the doubletalk is on com1. Any help would be appreciated.
