serial port output

[Michael]

Hello all: 

I'm going to change sides for a moment and use what may be identified as bad language. <grin> 

I herd that it was possible, to output the install screens of a 9-x, NT-x platform to a serial port, to have it spoken by an external synthesizer.  One of the major stumbling blocks I'm faced with is total control of building a 9-X or NT-X machine from the ground up.  I have to rely on a sited individual to read the installation screens up until the point where my screen reader can be installed.  
My current screen reader requires that IE 5.0, sound driver of course, and video driver be installed before it can become operational.  
Can anybody shed some light on this matter? 
I think one of the clear benefits of a Speakup adapted Linux machine is the ability for the blind user to hear the installation processes, along with the added security and the total independent control over 
his or her computing environment.  

Chow:
