properly switching synths in speakup

No need to apologize, we all make typos (smile).

I did some more testing on another system, where the bns is built-in,
and sftsyn is compiled as a module. It turns out that if I boot with
none, invoke sftsyn, then try to echo bns >/proc/speakup/synth_name,
things go bye-bye. If I first do echo none >/proc/speakup/synth_name,
before doing the echo bns command, things still go bye-bye.

However, if I boot with the bns connected, and it is detected, I can
switch between none, sftsyn, and bns as much as I want with no
problems.

Going back to the first system with the doubletalk, I then booted with
none as the synth. Once I did that, I was able to switch between bns,
dtlk, and none again as much as I wanted, both using speakwith and
manually BTW. I've also figured out why echo bns
>/proc/speakup/synth_name was simply giving back the shell prompt. It
was happening because the speakup_bns module wasn't loaded. With the
module loaded beforehand, the echo command works just fine, provided
that I didn't boot with dtlk as the initial synth of course.
