Strange garbles from dectlk

[Glenn at home]

What happens when you send text directly to tty0, such as directing the ls 
command to the port?
There must be an equivalent to the msDOS command:
dir>com1
would it be?
ls tty0

Hi All.  My struggles with installing fedora still continues.  After I type 
in the command text speakup_synth=dectlk, It doesn't speak but goes straight 
to the choice of whether I should skip checking my disk or proceed with the 
installation.  When I proceed, My nephew telles me that the screen shows 
something like the Anaconda installer is active.  It is at this point that 
Dectalk garbles something like c cerdilla, atleast 20 times in succession, 
then stops altogether.  Incidentally, I did do a check on the disk, and 
Anaconda says that my disk passed the check test.  My conclusion is that My 
dectalk is trying to respond, but that it is not able to connect with 
speakup.  I wonder if there is anything else I need to do?  Any help will be 
greatly appreciated.  I have already disabled the non-existent tty2 from my 
bios so that I have tty0 left.  Cheers!
