Apollo stops talking from time to time

[Kerry Hoath]

The apollo has a filthy implementation of handshaking.
I know that speakup has to try and work around this as much as it can, 
however this isn't perfect.
Sadly the best solution is to get a different speech synthesizer, however 
failing this provide as much information about the circumstances around the 
bug as you can.
I don't think apollos are that common these days.
Regards, Kerry.
