Hi Greg: I did not run any modprobe commands today. I guess unless I needed to
string 2 of them together to switch off the DecTalk-and-enable soft synth,
because otherwise I might not have speech. I suppose I could use 2 separate
consoles for both commands. Anyway, here are the contents of
/var/log/speechd-up.log
