Question about cat and echo
Hello,
I am trying to send text to a USB to serial adaptor and then to an external speech synthesizer. I tried using the cat and echo commands with no luck. I have gotten some audio output from my synthesizer using Kermit a terminal emulator, so I am pretty sure my synthesizer and my USB to serial adaptor and the adaptors driver are all working. I want to send text to my synthesizer using the cat and or echo command. So my question is do I need to set something up in order to send text to my synthesizer, with the cat or echo command, and have audio output from my synthesizer? btw I know about VoiceOver.

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But
echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo"
