debian testing no speech after new install

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Steve,

My doubletalk LT works fine in arch also, wikth kernel 2.6.34, although
I normally use espeak for regular activities.  Here is how my speech
modules are handled:

In /etc/rc.conf, I have this line:

MODULES=(speakup speakup_soft)

In /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, I have this line:
options speakup_soft start=0

and in /etc/rc.local, I have these lines:

# extra speakup modules
modprobe speakup_ltlk ser=0 start=0
# start talking
talkwith soft espeakup
speakupconf load


I hope something above might be helpful. 

Chuck
