M20/40 status.

[Janina Sajka]

As one who maintains some of the documentation, I want to be very
precise about this.

Are you saying that certain ROM revisions of the Freedom Scientific
Millennium will function as TTS speech synths for current, CVS versions
of Speakup?

You say "M20/40" by which I understand both Millennium 20 and Millennium
40. But what ROM versions? Beginning with what revision?

And, do I understand that the speakup_synth keyword for these is 'bns?'
Is this what you're saying?
