Isn't there a way to test the synth before installing?
Also, I wonder if the cMos settings are not set at the defaults for the 
serial ports.

Hi Friends.  It seems to me that my ambition to install and learn the ins 
and outs of the linux OS has all but failed.  I have copied the installation 
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!
