So many variations on such a simple theme. Maybe the serial port needs to be reserved right up front when booting. I generally boot with speakup_synth=ltlk, then before the first login prompt I let speakwith switch me to software speech. That way I get one more indication that all is well before the first login. I log into root first, then run speakwith manually to restore the ltlk as the working synth. I operate in a pretty reduced environment here, with one fairly capable desktop doing everything, and a Linux laptop for emergencies. As for the typo, at least it was in the help screen and not in the code! It always makes me a little nervous to peer into source code and find typos and misspellings in comments. Makes me wonder if there are any in the code. - -- The Moon is Waning Crescent (16% of Full) Get downloads from http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh and remember, INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFETIx3XnuiIOyDVQURAkqZAJoDFUwUV1gpFXrppvfBP2QmMSyPbACfbJTV RO3FZMxsXu5kzGUooGdUU8A= =U8wd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
