Re: [orca-list] Potential conflict between Orca and emacspeak with hardware synth

[Mike Gorse <mgorse mgorse dhs org>]

For what it's worth, _something_ does probe the serial port when the user 
enters the preferences dialog.  I have a Speak-out connected to the serial 
port on my desktop, and it starts reading out commands intended for a 
DEC-talk.  So presumably it is gnome-speech that is doing this.
