Zack,
I'm connecting my Dectalk Express to the DB-9 pin connector on my PC serial card using
a standard RS-232 serial cable. There is no USB involved here.
This is the same plain old serial port I used to hook up
to my talking VT100 talking terminal with a null modem cable.
This is the serial port that DOS knows as COM1, and that most linux
systems know as /dev/ttyS0.
I can redirect text to /dev/ttyS0
and my Dectalk speaks it with no problem. As a matter of fact, I wrote a PERL script
to let me navigate through a text file and listen to it with Dectalk
instead of Espeak.
This isn't as good as getting Dectalk working with speakup, but
for now, it's all I've got.

Rudy,
Are you connecting your Dectalk Express to a physical serial port from the motherboard, or are you trying to use some kind of USB to serial adaptor or other gadget? If the latter, you will most definitely need a kernel upgrade. Are you able to send txt to the synthesizer by echoing it to /dev/ttyS0?
Best,
Zack.
