I don't know, but again, I don't see why it shouldn't.

What happens when you do that? Your message implies that you get no
speech, but you don't actually state this explicitly.

I don't know, but I don't see why it should.

The only pci serial card I've used is an actual modern hardware
modem. In the earlier kernels, it needed serial irq sharing enabled, the
many ports option enabled and it showed up as /dev/ttyS4. From what I
can recall, it still does need those options in the kernel, but now
shows up as /dev/ttyS1 in a system with only one on-board serial
port. It might be
possible that your card is showing up as something higher then
/dev/ttyS3, in which case, speakup won't talk to it, unless you modify
the speakup code.

Until I know what dmesg says about your serial configuration, if
anything, I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Sorry I can't be of
much help, maybe someone else would be able to tell you more.
