In /etc/rc.conf, my MODULES line looks like this: MODULES=(ipv6 speakup speakup_soft speakup_ltlk) 2. In /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, add these lines: options speakup_soft start=0 options speakup_ltlk ser=0 start=0 3. In /etc/rc.local, add these lines: # start talking talkwith soft espeakup speakupconf load In the last group, the talkwith command could specify either device, and once the syhstem is running, the talkwith command switches between devices gracefully, I use sudo to run it as root. Hope that elps. Chuck -- Chuck in Hudson. My website is hallenbeck.ftml.net, my Jabber ID is chuckh1@jabber.org
