Actually, in speakup, these keys do slightly different things.

Control flushes the buffer then starts speaking again immediately, and
keypad enter shuts up until another key is pressed.

To see this, cat a very long file then hit control a couple of times
while it is scrolling.  Then, hit keypad enter.

Thanks William for a good explanation.  I certainly remember controll in 
Vocal-Eyes as a toggle, also the KVM switch I have has controll as a toggle, 
really nice.  On the KVM 2 rapid presses toggles among the 2 machines
