at a loss

[Sean McMahon]

Going back to this orriginal thread, When your decktalk stops speaking, or you
tell it to shutup,what does speakup say when you hit the read current line key?
The bootup process will say a lot of what may seem  to be useless information.
Have you tried specifying the speakup and text parameters but not the specific
serial port?

howto into braille to the letter as ready reference, done all that is required
of me at the preparation stage, even did almost nothing else but tried to get
FC3 installed for the past 2 days, but nothing seems to work.  I can't even get
past the first stage of text installation simply because speakup refuses to talk
to my Dectalk express.  I cannot say if my dectalk express is the source of the
problem because it works very well with Wineyes and jaws even.  I am totally
stuck now and don't know what else I can do.  Unless someone who has installed
linux with the dectalk express synth is willing to help me, i'll have to shelf
the idea of installing linux, at least for the foreseeable future.  Cheers!
