My computer has no serial ports, it was bought in May, however, if it has bluetooth I have not found it, but then, I don't really know.
Do I understand that if it happened to have bluetooth I could operate the mPower as a braille display with Jaws? If this is true, where do I find more info on my computer and setting this up. Have never had a reason to investigate this in the past.

In fact, activesync might just cause a problem if it actually were monitoring the COM port you wished to use. I have the blue tooth and activesync problem you have, but I don't have keysoft 7 yet. I'm still waiting for my serial number to be added, so I can't give you directions, only theories which probably aren't much good. I have used my BrailleNote as a display with JAWS via serial port, however, and if activesync was using COM 1 for communication I couldn't use my BrailleNote as a display on that COM port until I disabled activesync. That should not be your problem, since activesync can't use COM 14 even if you wish it to. What I wonder is, do you use the same old display driver with JAWS as you did before? If that were the case you would just reinstall the driver, but instead of specifying COM1 or 2, you would give it the COM that bluetooth communication is on. Sorry for cluttering the list with my theory if it is not correct, but I had to try. :-) Sarah Van Oosterwijck Assistive Technology Trainer http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 1:23 PM Subject: [Braillenote] Using BN as Braille display via Bluetooth Hi all! Has anyone tried using there mPower as a Braille display via Bluetooth? I am unable to get this working and can not find anything about it in the manual. Now, I should say that I still don't have ActiveSync working either, and it is possible that I have to fix that first. Dean Jackson told me what my problem is with ActiveSync, but I have been unable to correct it yet. I would like to read up on the Braille terminal mode, but as I said, I am unable to find it in the manual. If anyone can point me to the right chapter and/or provide other information, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
