If a user learned their numbers in Morse code, the pc speaker could be
used if one existed and pcspkr had been loaded. All a user would hear
would be numbers once up and down arrows got used but if that user knew
what would start with each number played, no need for sound cards at all.

No, probably the Smithsonian hasn't got your latest update though.

Should I stop uploading *new upstream versions* of emacspeak then? Just

I can't count the number of times I have said, to myself,

jail on a computer that starts before anything else does and is
the last thing to go dark before the power goes off."

The one you want is aldo but unixcw is very nice. Unixcw has both a gui
and cli program but the cli program is called cw so many miss it.
unixcw just sends Morse code.
There is also a very old program

Hello,
In addition to what was said:
- grub is in C, so no need for learning assembly to contribute sound
drivers to it :)
- the plan was to add sound support to grub, and pre-synthesize boot
entry texts for grub to play. This plan is still only in todo lists,
though.
- petitboot is an in
Where's the morse code training software for Linux that runs on the
command line? Everything I've been able to find has eye candy interfaces.

Wow! Thanks. As I said in an earlier message, I dodged the
bullet this time in that I should be able to protect the old
development system with a chroot jail. The assembler and
debugger/emulator that won't make in newer versions of debian should
still work and, assuming I can get a serial port t
Thanks very much. I suspected that but it looks like I don't
have to make a duel-boot system afterall. Someone on the debian
list suggested I use a chroot jail to encapsulate the old
distribution which, in this case, should solve the problem I was
trying to solve in the first place.

Hello Martin,
I absolutely hate what I call "press and pray" in which
the silent world prevails and you count button presses in the
silence and hope and pray that nothing weird happens.
GRUB can't be made to talk, but it can play songs using its
play command. So you can have it play a different

I confess that I am on the low end of the grub learning

different debian version. One version is debian wheezy which I
