Hi,
You can't use a USB to serial converter to use a serial synthesizer with
Speakup. It has something to do with the hardware. I don't really
understand the exact problem myself, you'd have to ask Kurk. All I know
is that it doesn't work. If you are running Linux on a laptop with no
serial ports, the only option you have is software speech.

Equal causes can produce very unequal effects.
