Not much, not enough to work, but a bit. I have noticed the following message, which I suspect may have something to do with the problem, being sent to my Dectalk Express on /dev/ser0: Timeout Flush Possibly this is related to the distribution itself, not the problem. I don't know, at this point I just want something that works. Basically what happens is that when I boot up an installation cd, the program speaks fine. Reads all kernel messages, etc. However, I press a key, any key, and things fall apart. The keypad and entire keyboard becomes sluggish, unusably so. I cannot do anything and expect a response. The speakup program seems to be extremely slow. It acknowledges every action, eventually. But it takes it's time about it. Any help is greatly appreciated, Zack
