I don't understand exactly what you mean here...  The DECtalk PC driver is

device wich can't be accessed without some kernel side driver, like any
other piece of hardware in your PC.

Isn't it already there in the 2.1.x kernel series?  Something like
CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE?

What kind of hardware is it (serial device, ISA card, etc.)?

You can find the DECtalk PC driver I wrote from ftp.leb.net in
/pub/blinux as dectalk_pc-0.91.tgz.

If I didn't answered your interrogations, feel free to ask again!  :)
