I did the ports tree entry for brltty waaay back in 2004. Thats why it is still at 3.6, unfortunately. I am not quite sure regarding USB support, but I vaguely remember it did work for me back then. The port definitely needs updating, however, I dont have any (current or outdated) OpenBSD installations around, so getting into it will probably take me a few days of tinkering which is just not realistic currently for me. I am happy to assist anyone though, maybe if you can give me remote access to a current OpenBSD installation, dont know how much has changed since obsd3 (which is what I was playing with back then). > At best, post the debug logs (pass -l debug to brltty) so we can have > a look at errors messages if any.
