Welcome to the list. I am also a student, in my second year of
college for computer science. I have had a braillenote for six
years now (in a few months anyway). Don't worry about asking
basic questions; we all have to start somewhere. I mean, it took
me until just this year to discover something about the file
manager that has been there since the bn was first introduced in
2000!
Just so we all know: what kind of bn do you have? That is, does
it have a braille keyboard (called a bnbt) or a print keyboard
(called a bnqt)? This helps a lot when giving keystrokes to
perform. Sorry if I missed this in one of your earlier messages.
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi Kate,
Well, to find the actual version, form Main Menu, press SPACE
along with
dots 2-4. Then press SPACE. BrailleNote says, KeySoft CE
version (version).
Build: (build).
Where version is the version you are running and the build is the
build
number of that version. To exit out of this Informaiton list,
press SPaCE
along with dots 1-5.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: introduction
Fair enough, if I'm asking a million questions, I suppose I ought
to
introduce myself.
I'm of course Kate, I live in NY. I'm a student, hope to get
into medical
transcription. I do a little writing for my local paper and also
assist in a
nursery a couple times per month.
I got my BrailleNote mPower BT last fall and I've only just
gotten time to
begin learning it. I think its running keysoft 6.2 if I'm not
mistaken.
That's what one of the CD cases says at least.
To be honest, I'm trying to get myself up to speed on a lot of
technology
stuff lately. Seems to have gotten away from me and I feel like
an old lady
who doesn't know hardly anything. I'm too young for that to be
happening to
me.
Take care, and thanks for the info and the link to your website,
that should
come in handy.

Hi Kate,
Well, they are interchangeable - in other words, there's no
order in which
you buy the card.
If you are planning to use Ethernet, my suggestion is to buy a
network
router first (a router is a device which allows multiple
computers to
connect to a single DSL connection). Then buy the Ethernet card
from
HumanWare.
I have a website called BrailleNote PBWiki (located at
braillenote.pbwiki.com) which has vast resources on BrailleNote,
including
the answer to your question about setting up an Internet
connection.
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. Could you mind introduce ourself (like who exactly
you are and
what you do, along with the kind of BrailleNOte you have and
KeySoft
version)? Thanks.

Subject: [Braillenote] wireless cards
I'm looking to get set up with the internet feature of my
braille note. I
have never set up an internet connection myself, so forgive me
if these
questions are really insanely basic and easy.
I have internet access through my desktop computer, its a DSL
connection
through verizon. So, it says something about getting
information from my
ISP, which I assume is then verizon. What info do I need and is
this
usually
done via telephone, like, do I call them and ask them for
information or
do
I basically not need to worry about that if I am already
connected with my
other computer? Should I just plug the ethernet cord in and
should that
work?
I haven't tried as much yet because I have to go get an ethernet
card
first.
Any suggestions of ones that are compatible?
I do have wireless connectivity at home since I used to have a
laptop
computer, so if I just got a WI-FI adapter card, would that work
by itself
without an ethernet card? Are those two things interchangeable
or do I
need
an ethernet card before I can add a WI-FI adapter card?
I found this list of wireless cards that are supposedly
compatible, but
have
read in various places some of these don't work so well, does
anyone use
any
particular kind, either of the ones listed here or another kind,
and have
good reviews?
1. SanDisk Connect Plus CF WiFi + 128MB Memory card
2. Ambicom WL1100C-CF revision 2 only (serial number
WL2342xxxxxxxx)
3. Meritline MWL-672 Wireless LAN 11b Compact
4. Dlink DCF-660W, Wireless Ethernet Adapter, 11Mbps, 802.11b,
Compact Flash
5. Symbol Spectrum NetWLAN
6. Linksys WCF12 Wireless CompactFlash Card
7. NetGear MA701, Wireless Ethernet Adapter,11Mbps,
802.11b,CompactFlash
II
Do any of the faster ones like the D's work in the braille note?
Do the
USB
connected wireless adapters work?
Thanks in advance for any and all pointers tips help and/or
advice,
Kate
