Could be useful to know a bit more about the actual situation. Thoughts which come to mind are: I notice that there seems to be a lot to do with remote unix access (sdf), is this where brltty is being used? If so, then the configuration described will not work (I don't know whether it is actually possible to get brltty to communicate in some way from a server). I would suggest that local screen readers are used to get Braille access to the remote system (when working in a text console of a remote system, not sure about a GUI on the remote system). Also is he aware that Linux serial ports are numbered from 0 not 1?
There may be something else wrong, but those are the first things which come to my mind. Michael Whapples On Fri, 2008-09-26 at 13:10 -0400, Erik Heil wrote: > Hi their. Not sure how to proceed here.
