G'day Alex,
You might be hard pressed to find a laptop nowadays with serial ports! An
alternative option would be to use a USB to serial converter. The main
question is, I guess, would Speakup be able to use a USB interface even
though the converter should by rights show up as a serial port? I haven't
tried using USB to serial converters under any of the Linux flavors and
probably don't fully understand all the ins and outs, etc -- hence my point
here may be a mute one.
Cheers.
AB

Hi All,
Looking at retiring my old Latitude cpt in favor of something a bit
faster. What current laptops do people here have experience with? My
main requirement is something with a serial port, and I'd like to find
something under $1,000. Any input would be apreciated.
