Nada.  don't think so.  The way I understand it, and I'm surprised Kirk
hasn't commented on this yet, is that currently speakup will only load IF
the synth is detected at boot-up.  If it is not, speakup is bi-passed for
the entire session.  What you say WILL work IF the synth is detected, then
becomes unavailable later and is then re-attached.

Having said all that, the mods set for speakup development which would see
the ability to load synth modules should solve this one.

Geoff.
