Hi all,
Perhaps PDI might consider a couple of suggestions? First, Although
it doesn't work in Linux, the Ivocalize software is very good. It has
both text chat and audio chat as well as being able to have the
moderator push web pages.
A second idea would be to set up a MOO, or use an existing one. This
would work excellently with the Deaf-blind because it is entirely text
chat. Only thing is, I don't know if a braillenote can telnet.
<sigh> Perhaps everyone's forgotten about telnet.
Having to use additional software and to configure it before being
able to talk to tech support may not be the thing. What about IRC or
MiRC. that would be text and open to the deaf-blind as well.
The problem here is that all these methods of communication need a
PC. Unfortunately, the BrailleNote doesn't telnet and doesn't use
IRC.
I've not tried Skipe, so I don't know how hard it is to configure.
You need something that is going to be as easy to configure as
possible. Folks seeking tech support are already frustrated. <smile>
They may become frantic if asked to use a software which has problems
attached.
