I have a laptop which has zero serial ports. If I purchase a USB to serial converter and connect a speak-out to it will this be active immediately so that I can use the speak-up to install Linux with speech? Or does the USB to serial get configured after boot up meaning I would not have access to the serial port right away? Thanks.
