With lilo, in the particular section you want to use to connect to the 
other device a statement like: serial 0,9600n8 <enter> would connect com1: 
or ttyS0: at 9600 baud with no parity and an 8 bit character length.  If 
that statement is one of those in the global section it has the effect of 
speaking the boot screen and allowing the user to choose which of the 
types of boot to use provided a hardware speech synthesizer is used likely 
with a braille display the boot menu will come up on the braille display. 
What if anything it will do for software speech I don't know.On Tue, 24
