Hi Greg,
Switch the two engines and it will work.
I know it doesn't seem right, but this is documented :-):

Special Parameters for this Type:
Speech Engine:	Identifies the speech engine which will route
		speech thru Voice-Interface-C (or " " for none).
		If you find that speech "stutters" (indicating
		that your PC is not fast enough), select an
		engine designated "for telephone", as these
		output at a reduced rate (do NOT use these
		engine as the Phone Engine).
Phone Engine:	Identifies the speech engine which will route
		speech thru Phone-Interface-C (or " " for none).
		Do NOT use any designated as "for telephone".
