Speakup and PCI Express Serial Cards

Hi Greg, I am posting this again because I'm not sure if it made it to
the list the first time.

Unfortunately, I'm sure this is his issue.  The problem is that we have
the ports and irq numbers hard coded into speakup, and we access the
hardware directly instead of using linux tty devices to do so.

This is one of the issues that still needs to be fixed before we can
submit speakup to become an official part of the kernel; we need to
convert over to use linux ttys.

If we were doing that, he would not have noticed a difference.
