I have a box with one serial port on the motherboard, and another on a PCI card. The first one appears as ttyS0 and has a braille display on it, and the other one appears as ttyS4, where I would like to put a synthesizer. Some software only allows ports 0 to 3, the first four ports, and I cannot recall whether that is the case with speakup.
