All interaction with speakup could be done through the /dev/softsyn device. This would require converting the hardware modules to user-space programs which would communicate with speakup over the /dev/softsyn device and to the hardware synth over the /dev/tts serial device. What I'm suggesting is to remove serial port support from speakup since it appears to be problematic at best. Chris
