VmWare Tools and Speakup

[Zachary Kline]

Hi Greg,
    I'd use VirtualBox in a flash if I could get the darned serial emulation 
to work.  I haven't been able to.  I always get errors about being unable to 
set the host port mode because the device path is empty or null.  I don't 
know why I get these errors either, but it's beyond frustrating.
    It doesn't seem to make a difference whether I use Windows XP Pro or 
Home as a host operating system, it just always happens.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks much,
Zack.
