Hi all.

I'm running speakup 2.00, and kernel 2.6.11.8. In my dmesg output, I
see the following:

"Speakup v-2.00: initialized
Probing for DoubleTalk.

/dev/synth does exist:

"crw-r--r--    1 root     root      10,  25 May  4 20:01 /dev/synth"

Any suggestions regarding what to look at next would be very much
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Greg
