	Hello all,

	Looks like the DoubleTalk LiteTalk synthesizer works with lilo's
serial feature  For anyone whos interested, the settings I used in
/etc/lilo.conf are:

serial=0,9600e7

	Setting a port speed under 2400 baud locked the system up tight
and required the rescue CD.  I commented out the serial line and re-ran
lilo, got an error about /proc having no partitions  available, but it
still took and the system rebooted again.  Anyway, similar settings of
9600 baud, even parity, and 7 databits should werk for grub users with a
LiteTalk (ltlk).  Slower baud rates only gave me garbage, I think.  The
synth just kept saying "x" 20 or so times, paused, and then did it
again.  Thanks much for everyone for the heads up on the serial
feature in the boot loader.  Now I *really* can hear what goes on from
startup to shutdown.  Now all I need is the same thing in the BIOS
setup. <grins>  HTH,

			Michael
