Speakjet and Arduino mega

hi, im using arduino mega , speakjet shield project, , wire speakjet tts256
http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/166
but cant make work code next

quote

#include <softwareserial.h>
#define txpin 2
#define rxpin 3
// set softwareserial port connect speakjet
softwareserial speakjetserial =  softwareserial(0, txpin);

void setup()
{
  // define pin modes tx, rx pins:
  pinmode(rxpin, input);
  pinmode(txpin, output);
  speakjetserial.begin(9600);
  speakjetserial.println("say it"); // send speakjet
}

void loop()
{
 
}

and when upload code says ready no it, put pins in vin gnd +5v +3v3 rst , rx tx 2 , 3, im doing wrong??

why creating variables pins 2 , 3, create serial port 0 , 3?

also, don't use pinmode on pins you're setting software serial.  begin() method you.
