	The serial port code in the 2.6.33 kernels that was removed in 
the 2.6.34 kernel, or what speakup is linking with now to access the 
serial port in kernelspace.  I'm no real programmer, but it seems the 
problem is the kernel development team removed some code from the kernel 
that we need, from the 2.6.34 kernel.  Why not just look in the 2.6.33 
kernel, which does have our code,, and paste it into speakup?  Sorry, 
but I don't know what code is in the kernel, as I'm not too familiar 
with C, but if the code we need is in 2.6.33, then why not just 
cannibalize it for speakup.  We would just be accessing the serial ports 
the original way, while the rest of the kernel world does it the new 
way.
