2 questions: "echo" and starting automatically

[Terrence van Ettinger]

Hello, all,
 	I have 2 questions regarding speakup.  First, I'm using speakup 
with festival and speech-dispatcher, and I occasionally get a sort of 
broken echo.  Is there a way to fix this?  Second, is there a way I can 
have speech-dispatcher and speechd-up start automatically with the 
computer?  I always have to do it manually after login.

Thanks,
Terrence
