I hadn't gotten around to upgrading Jaws, so I thought, why not, and installed JFW v6.2. I installed the Keynote speech driver and the BN still works fine as a synth, but not as a Braille display. I made sure and put the BN in terminal mode and then unloaded and reloaded Jaws, but no Braille. I've got to go find drivers for a USB to serial converter I have lying around. Thanks again!
