The software is KeySoft 3.0.3 (February 2001).  This is an old 
machine; beyond that I don't know which "model" this is.

On a related note, does anyone have info on how one can use the 
BrailleNote as a speech synthesizer?  I can actually send text to the 
device when in this mode at 9600 baud, and speech is produced.  I 
started experimenting by sending control chars to the device to see 
what would happen and it caused the device to stop producing speech 
altogether; turning the unit off and then back on didn't cure the 
problem.  A hard reset was needed.

So, are there codes to send the synth to cause its 
voice/pitch/volume/rate to be changed?

And then my original problem:  Do older BrailleNotes expect/use lower 
baud rates than 38400 for their Braille terminals?  I'm still 
surprised brltty hard codes 38400 unless no one has ever tried a unit 
as old as this.

Thanks,
