Bugs in DEC-Talk Express driver

[Trevor Astrope]

I have the pitch set to 75 on the machine I use a Dectalk Express, but it 
is a rhel 3 machine with an 2.4 kernel with an old version of speakup:

Speakup v-2.00 CVS: Tue Dec 28 15:10:59 EST 2004
synth dectlk version 1.3

My preference is to have the Dectalk to sound as close to an Accent SA as 
possible.
