The thing is though, I have discovered that the serial port needs to be 
"forced" open in order for Braille terminal to even connect, never mind 
work. Why? If I try to connect to the Braille Terminal, via bluetooth this 
is, without the com port being open in the first place, I get the 
following message on my mPower: "The serial port is not available." 
followed by: "The operation completed successfully". The same is true for 
the remote synthesizer, except I get a different message: "The specified 
network resource or device is no longer available". Well I'm sorry, but 
how can this be when no programmes I have running are accessing the serial 
port? And how come that if I open the serial port, say, via Hyperterminal, 
both Braille Terminal and Remote Synthesizer will connect properly? I'm 
beginning to wonder if there are compatibility issues with my Belkin 
adaptor and the Windows XP SP2 drivers, causing the serial port to be 
denied access, even though nothing's accessing it. Hmm, strange. I should 
also point out that if I use the serial port option (I'm on about the 
"real" serial port option), both Braille Terminal and Remote Synthesizer 
will connect properly. Thanks in advance once again for the help.

On the same note, whenever you use the same port on the computer and bn 
for different things (active sync, visual display, Braille terminal), 
always make sure the other programs are turned off before using one of 
them.  My active sync gets mad when I try to use visual display, but it's 
fine when I tell it to go away and stop trying to connect.


HTH,
Nicole

Hi Chris,

Because Visual Display interferes with Braille Terminal.  You'll have to 
turn Visual Display off before you can use Braille Terminal.  Speaking 
of this, you'll have to restart JAWS while BrailleNote is in Braille 
Terminal in order for it to truly work.

Cheers,
Joseph

when attempting to use BrailleTerminal


Hi all,
I have looked further into my problem of not

being able to use Braille

Terminal via bluetooth on my laptop.  I ran

Hyperterminal, and I could

successfully connect to the com port.  When I

launch Braille terminal, I

still get a blank display at the mPower's

end, however when I press keys on

my mPower BT 32 garbage appears on the screen

of my laptop.  However, when I

enable visual display via Bluetooth, which is

a cool feature I have to say,

the information is displayed correctly on my

laptop.  Now can anyone help in

why this would be the case? I'm slightly

worried that my mPower BT 32's at

fault here.  Thanks in advance for the help.

P.S.  I'm using a Belkin

bluetooth adaptor which uses Windows XP SP2

drivers as its bluetooth

software.
