About no_interrupt?

[Chime Hart <chime@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All: Now, this is seemingly really strange. We installed Debian Stable on a 
laptop, eventually switched from horrible espeak to Allison, an embedded Voxin 
voice. Even on rate1 she sounds like normal conversational speech. Only 1 major 
thing wrong. Once she reads, she won't stop until she's done. On my Debian SID 
desktop machine there is a file, "no_interrupt" set to 0. However, on the 
laptop there seem to be no speakup config files such as bleeps. Also, on my 
console desktop machine, speakup settings are in /load as well as dot speakup. 
What would be an easy way of getting these type of files so they are 
around-and-available on the laptop, especially "no_interrupt"? Side note, I was 
surprised getting Allison working with a much older version of voxinup1.5 
instead of the current rc3.3-rc5. At times I wouldn't mind running Allison 
instead of a DecTalk on my main machine. Thanks so much in advance of any 
guidance.
