Yeah, I don't think I will be going there.  I don't know tcl at all
and don't wanna get tangled up with another layer of complexity like
that.  Out of curiousity, if I write a c module to communicate with
the serial port, should I merely write to it like I would to STDOUT?
The only program I've recently written for the speakout to set its
clock, writes its output to the file, /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth
and I think speech-dispatcher modules should not be tied to speakup
devices.  So can I just write to /dev/ttyS0 for example or should I
use a more lower level approach?

I like the advice I'm getting so far; the serial generic module idea
sounds good to me.
