speakup with serial synths: what's the latest?

[Trevor Astrope]

I'm not sure what the last working kernel is, but you can modify 
serialio.c in the speakup source and comment out the return NULL line in 
the request_region block to get serial synths working in newer kernels. At 
least, this is what I had to do for the speakup_acntsa driver.

But if you rmmod the speakup driver, it will cause a kernel oops and you 
will need to power cycle the machine.
