DecTalk Working Reasonably Well in Ubuntu 17.10

Well, back on Friday we first tried Debian9 but could only get espeak. Then
tried a full Ubuntu, had DecTalk speech, but because of the graphical I didn't
have access to many of the speakup keyboard functions. So now, running a minimal
install of 17.10. Drivers seem more stable, still sometimes rate-and-volume drop
as they always have.
Next, I would love to not only modify some of the settings, along with running a
command to increase an inflection. However, when accessing /sys/accessibility, I
get swop-and-permission errors. Maybe Ubuntu keeps these elsewhere?
Next, we selected a VGA setting to increase number of line. Also another font
doubles to 150lines. An odd item, when in Pine or Alpine, once I get to the
message body, I hear no speech while typing, all lines belo the subject are
blank. I sent myself a message, so I know other will see or hear text. Is this
because of 150 lines, but why just in a message body? Thanks so much in advance
for any guidance
