DecTalk External (decext) testers wanted!

[Gregory Nowak]

Ok, so I've built the new kernel. I have a braille 'n speak connected
to ttyS0. I'm wanting to try the on-board serial port first,
before I move to a usb to serial converter.

With only the speakup_main module loaded out of the speakup modules, I
type in:

modprobe speakup_bns ser=0 start=1

and get back:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'speakup_bns': No such device

The relevant dmesg output is:

"[   82.864734] speakup_bns: module is from the staging directory, the
quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[   82.865621] synth probe
[   82.865626] Ports not available, trying to steal them
[   82.865635] Unable to allocate port at 3f8, errno -16
[   82.865637] Braille 'N Speak: not found
[   82.865638] bns: device probe failed"

The modinfo output is:

"filename:

I thought all the drivers were ported to use the new tty layer
support. Is this not the case?
