debian testing no speech after new install

Hi, Steve.  I'm using my TripleTalk LT via the serial port with what "uname
-a" tells me is 2.6.34-ARCH.  I haven't done any upgrades in a couple of
weeks, though, so don't know if there's a later kernel version than mine
that wouldn't work with it.

You mean you still have serial port access with your system? What
kernel version are you up to? I can't use serial ports for speech
anymore with my 2.6.34 kernel I'm not exactly sure when this was lost
but I thought this was across the board with the current version of
speakup and newer kernels.  I would love to be able to use my Speakout
once in a while.
