Hello fellow braillenote users,
Like it says in my above subjectline, I've made an amazing discovery
with my braillenote MPower! Remember way back in early 2000, when the
bn first came out? and the only way we could connect to the internet
was via a dialup connection? And if that wasn't enough, the email
service we used had to have a pop3 server? In fact, anyone who used
America Online, was out of luck because there was no way for the
braillenote to access it. Well, today, I found out that that's no
longer the case. I've discovered a really easy way to logon to AOL
with the braillenote. Here's how to do it:
1 Assuming you already have an AOL account, once you get to the address
prompt, type in the following address:
webmail.aol.com.
2 Press enter, and select your connection option like you normally do.
3 Within moments, keysoft will say, "AOL signin."
4 Press space with dots #4 and #6 until you hear "Username text input"
and type in your username.
5 Press space with dots #4 and #6 again to get to the password text
input box, and type in your password.
6 Press space with dots #4 and #6 again to get to the signin button.
Note, I've found, that when your filling out a form on the bn, it won't
allow you to activate a button while your still sitting on an input
box, like you can on the computer. Anyway, once you've submitted your
cridencials, the America Online main page will come up.
7 Now, press space with dots #4 and #6 to get to the (check mail)
button, press enter on it and your good to go. You'll be on your email
account page.
8 To logoff, use the space with letter F command to find the signout
icon, press enter on it, and you'll be logged off. That's all there is
to it. Webmail is actually America Online's remote site. So if you're
using a computer that doesn't have the AOL software installed, or in
the case of the bn, where you aren't able to install the software due
to technical reasons, with this site, you can access your AOL account
regardless of whether the software is on the braillenote or not. I hope
that this information will be helpful and useful to someone.
