changing synthesisers under speakup

[Adam Myrow]

You're using the Accent driver for a BNS?  That's got to cause a lot of 
problems.  The proper way to change synth names is with the echo command. 
I.E, echo bns > /proc/speakup/synth_name.  I always thought using an 
editor was a bad idea on files in /proc since they aren't real files.  If 
loading the bns driver is causing your problems, then you may have found a 
bug.
