punctuation delay after restarting dectalk

[Lorenzo Prince]

It should just be a matter of echoing the initial values back to the
important files in /proc/speakup.  This should force Dectalk to initialize
just as if you had rebooted.  I think I can have that script within the next couple of
days, or maybe even this afternoon.  I will post a copy of the script as
soon as I have determined if it actually works the way I think it should,
or else I'll post my failures/other ideas.
