Is there a problem with the following or is this by design?

I have on my FC3 box, speakup and the Speak-out synthesizer on ttyS0.  I 
needed to use the speak-out on another box so I unplugged it from the 
box.  When I plugged it back in I get no speech when pressing enter on 
the keyboard.

I can log in and log out and remotely use the box so I know it's not 
locked up.  I thought my cord went bad so I tried it on another box and 
it worked fine.  I also did:

root# echo spkout > /proc/speakup/synth_name

Just in case I needed to re-echo the value but that did not work either.  
So my question is if the serial port somehow shuts off when the 
synthesizer is not connected?  If so, how would I turn it back on?  I'd 
like to do all this without having to reboot.

Thanks.
