Serial conflict

[Albert Sten-Clanton]

Would this influence how early in the boot-up Speakup could kick in using a
hardware synthesizer?  I'm sorry to say I know nothing about this area.
Thanks!

This is an excellent suggestion, if at all practical.  If we did this it
might also let us handle USB serial ports and the like with ease, since we'd
then be in userspace.
Hope we can make something of it,

/dev/softsyn device and to the hardware synth over the /dev/tts serial
device.
