Well, while this behavior is still an anoying mystery, I now know how to reproduce it. OK, seemingly only 1 of maybe only 6 of us with DecTalk U S B. Since I prefer certain letters-and-symbols pronounced differently, I edited charactors. Sure I can type speakupconf load My changes are in affect, however at that point, I will not hear top, bottom, left-and-right, while in review. Even more weird is this one. Once my config is loaded-and-I am in ssh to Shellworld, my arrow-and-cursor keys have a 1 charactor delay, but another ssh site looks normal. Iff I reload the DecTalk with the following alias, to get around that nasty 4second slow delay, alias reload-dectalk '/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/modprobe -r speakup_dectlk; /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/modprobe speakup_dectlk ' alias rd '/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/modprobe -r speakup_dectlk; /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/modprobe speakup_dectlk ' Once I reload DecTalk, sure I must re-ajust all my settings, pitch, rate, and volume. But now my altered config is not loaded, and so we have zehd and 9 instead of niner, ETC. My large question in all of this, why would essentially a key-label dictionary slow down an ssh connection--and how can I have my config load without any sloer behavior? On the local hard-drive, I notice nothing weird. Just recently I got AT&T Uverse, went from 3 to 12mb. The changes I made in the config I coppied to both places--and-I certainly cannot set a good value so pitch goes up on capitalization. And here I was thinking I needed to change a terminal type to vt220 or linux, from vt100. Can some1 please shed some light on these happenings. Right now I have no other installed synthesizer, but I have a registered version of TT synth. Thanks in advance Hart
