speakup serial ports

[Garrett Klein]

Perhaps I'm being naïve, but could you not just specify speakup_ser=4 on the
boot command line? Of course, the PCI subsystem may hnot load in time...
Though iirc, you said you had modularized Speakup.

Hi Steve,

Yes. I have a box with one serial port on the motherboard, and another 
on a PCI card. The first one appears as ttyS0 and has a braille display 
on it, and the other one appears as ttyS4, where I would like to put a 
synthesizer. Some software only allows ports 0 to 3, the first four 
ports, and I cannot recall whether that is the case with speakup.
