Killing a module

Killing a module

[Victor Tsaran]

Hello, listers!
Does anyone know what steps I should take in order to kill a module from the
memory? One of my module locked the modem up and does not want to be
removed. Whenever I try rmmod with either -a or the -r options, I always get
"device or resource busy". What is the other to kill a monster? of course, I
understand that I can always reboot, but how would I do it without one?
Best and thanks,
Vic

Dectalk question.

[Anna Schneider]

So, the Dectalk I have is an external and is several years old.  I bought 
in in um 1998 for a job I was doing and then never used it.  At the time, 
it came with discs for installing it with DOS.  Do I need to worry bout 
updating it or anything or does Speak Up come with all the software bits 
to take care of that.

I don't think so.  I run a dectalk with version 4.2cd, which is the lates
version by digital.  I would just try it with what you have.

If you have a dectalk express, you have everything you need.  I recently purchased one wich came with 4.61.  This version was
unsatisfactory.  It certainly wasn't the dec talk we all know and love.  I flashed 4.2c which was the version on my older unit.  It
works a lot better.  Although, there was a 4.2d I think.  there was a web site at one time wich served various dec talk stuff.
However, I can't remember the url.  I know it was something like http://www.*/rongemma/dectalk.*.  I originally got the url from a
friend of mine who worked at dec several years ago.

Hi, I am assuming you are refering to the Dectalk Express. Yes, Speakup
comes with ssil drivers for the Dectalk, and you can specify it on the
commandline when you load Linux.For example:

 speakup_synth=dectlk

Then, Speakup will load speech for the Dectalk Express. If you wanted to
load a bns instead you would enter:

 speakup_synth=bns

Of course during setup you have the option of having this come up
automatically, or create a menu of choices to choose synths on startup.

By way of picking a nit...

Speakup's interface to the DEC Express (or for that matter, any
synthesizer) is not a SSIL driver. SSIL is a Windows standard which
was invented, if I'm not much mistaken, by Arkenstone, for use with
the original OpenBook software, then JFW and some other folks adopted
the standard as well. SSIL is only a Windows standard and has
absolutely zip to do with Speakup.

Right. That was a typo on my part. I should review my messages before
posting.
