speakup todo?

Jupiter is actually a hybrid that runs in userspace and also has a 
kernel module.

According to the write-up I found at this link, the kernal module is 
used to carry keyboard and tty events to userspace, where the userspace 
application then speaks the content of the screen and responds to 
keyboard events. So although it runs partially in userspace and in fact 
will interface with a hardware speech synthesizer using a USB to serial 
converter, it unfortunately wouldn't be portable enough to run on BSD or 
similar, unless the device driver could be adapted to the BSD  or other 
kernel, and if that is possible, then it should also be possible to port 
Speakup in the same way.
