Re: DoubleTalk LT doesn't pronounce whole lines of text

Victor,

Not sure if this will help, but the setserial command can be used to
set many aspects of the serial devices. (e.g. baud, speed, etc) and
the stty command can be used to set the type of flow control
(xon/xoff, cts/rts etc). It is possible your serial port is either not
using the correct type of flow control or is receiving data too fast
which is overflowing the ports buffers etc (you may need to drop the
speed that data is written to the serial port or increase the speed
data is written from the port to the doubltalk device). At any rate, these two
commands should be able to let you tweak these settings. There is also
a serial howto which might give you some insight (see your closest
linux documentation project mirror site for the latest version)
