Dialog does work over a serial port if the other end is a Linux terminal; but a bit slow to redraw screens. The lack of serial is definitely a problem; perhaps network console is another option but still the reliance on modules causes problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
