Strange garbles from dectlk

Strange garbles from dectlk

[jaffar]

Hi All.  My struggles with installing fedora still continues.  After I type in the command text speakup_synth=dectlk, It doesn't speak but goes straight to the choice of whether I should skip checking my disk or proceed with the installation.  When I proceed, My nephew telles me that the screen shows something like the Anaconda installer is active.  It is at this point that Dectalk garbles something like c cerdilla, atleast 20 times in succession, then stops altogether.  Incidentally, I did do a check on the disk, and Anaconda says that my disk passed the check test.  My conclusion is that My dectalk is trying to respond, but that it is not able to connect with speakup.  I wonder if there is anything else I need to do?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I have already disabled the non-existent tty2 from my bios so that I have tty0 left.  Cheers!

What happens when you send text directly to tty0, such as directing the ls 
command to the port?
There must be an equivalent to the msDOS command:
dir>com1
would it be?
ls tty0

Hi there, I believe the command you'd be after is:
ls > /dev/ttyS0
I.E, redirect the output of ls to the first com port, known as /dev/ttyS0 
under linux.

Thanks,
Arthur.
