help with Debian

[W. Nick Dotson]

I'm just a newbie in Fedora 3 myself, but remember in the installation having to turn off "cups off" "firstboof off" and "kudzu off".  This was during the 
installation so it wouldn't go through I guess, and look at all the ports, and figure that the printer was attached to one of them and really, your speech 
synthesizer was on one of the lines and got disconnected by the server until it though itwas being called on again.  I really don't know, but that's my guess 
as to why those lines were and they said in the docs, if you didn't turn them off, your speech would come up and then stop.

Help needed:
I have had success with this before with RedHat in the past, but not on this 
computer.
But I cannot get any sound out of the synthesizer on this Debian boot up for 
the installation...
I did have winblows on this system with an Artic Braille pad for the synth, 
so I know that the connection is right, and it is "com 1" (ser=0).
But I have tried both of the following lines with the disk I made from the 
boot.img disk:
linux speakup_synth=txprt
and I have also tried:
linux speakup_synth=txprt speakup_ser=0
I get no sound
but it runs after I press enter after the above command
but stops, and as soon as I make a keystroke, it runs again, but still 
nothing happens.
Any help appreciated.
Glenn
