Getting Speakup to work with Decktalk.

[Thomas D. Ward]

Hi, the one you will want is dectlk.
They will have to append a line to lilo.conf that looks like this:

        append="hdc=ide-scsi speakup_synth=dectlk"

That will load the dectalk express. Speakup should just pickup the dectalk 
on it's own.
To be ssafe hook your dectalk to com 1 or /dev/ttyS0
