accent and speakup

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  Here is what I do when I remove my accent SA.
While the synth is still turned off but connected, I do several speakup
review commands.  Example: read line read previous line read line read
next line.  Then turn on the accent.  Press insert enter.  You should
hear the synth say "accentSA restarted ". 
Your rate will be back at the default, but your synth will 
respond as normal.  All I have to do is
type "rate d" from a shell to set my rate back to d.  Rate is just a
shell script I wrote that just does 
echo $1 >/proc/speakup/rate.

Hope this helps.
          Kenny
