I can't address your questions specificly, however, I do think that
this close to the Leopard release, you'd be better holding off a few
weeks and seeing if the updates to the OS and VoiceOver make this
setup unnecessary.

"There are two main ways of doing desktop virtualization. One is to
run
multiple operating systems on one PC. Another is to have one or
more
operating systems running on a remote server, with the desktop
tunneling in to those other operating systems. Technology such as
Microsoft's Remote Display Protocol pipes keystrokes and mouse
clicks
to the server and a view of the screen back to the user."
Here is my question. I want to use terminal mode on the mac for many
things. As I understand it vo use is crude at best. Here is my
thought.
The dos screen readers afford far superior speech functionallity.
Using a
network or phone dialup into a unix or lynix shell dos provides
perfect
speech access because the speech is done at the local machine.
I want to use a mac and something like fusion to run dos in one vm to
access mac terminal mode in the primary system. Does anyone see any
fundamental problems in this approach? I have an external synth
using a
serial port. Can one use one of the usb to serial converters in this
capacity? Can one by usb port to usb port connection using a
communications application on the dos side access terminal mode
activity on
the mac side?
In dos days this was done on a regular basis when a unix system on a
network was used. The dos machine acted as the local terminal on
which
speech to access the unix machine was used. The same is also possible
using a phone up isp connection to a unix or linux based net
account. Could
one use a network with this setup in one machine? Can one use
wireless for
same?
