Patch for DEC-talk Express driver

[Tony Baechler]

Hi,

I did the test as you described below. I didn't have any problem. The 
pitch went back to where it was supposed to be. As far as I'm aware, it 
doesn't have any relative pitch adjustment commands. I'm not a 
programmer, but what if you just do some basic addition at the time that 
caps_start is called? In other words, make the driver relative since the 
unit doesn't support that. Just take the current pitch and add 50 to 
determine the correct caps_start value at the time that you review upper 
case text. Anyway, the pitch didn't go back to the factory default, so I 
don't think this is a problem.
