best way to change speakup defaults in debian automatically when the system boots into console mode

[Nick Gawronski <nick@nickgawronski.com>]

Hi, I was wondering what is the proper method as I can not locate any 
documentation on how to change things like rate and volume and pitch 
automatically when the system boots as there is no information in any of 
the manual pages and I do not always like manually echoing values to 
/sys/accessibility/speakup after the system is booted so what is the 
proper way to automatically set options for espeakup when the system is 
booted?  Nick Gawronski
