I agree frames are a real problem both for the blind and the sighted.
I don't use them.

As far as frames go, I think they should be avoided. You should be
able to do just about anything with DIVs and CSS today that used to
require frames. Frames can interfere with keyboard shortcuts and
other stuff.

If you put the nav links in a fram On the right of the screen the
screen reader will not have any trouble.

Another approach o the issue of menus and navigation links is to
make sure that if they are not at the end of the document flow
that they are on the right hand side of the window in languages
which are read left-to-right. This will aid in two ways:
For visual readers it will ensure that the eye falls first on the
content and not on the unrelated navigation elements as we read
from top left to bottom right. Putting the navigation elements on
the left side of the page creates the issue of always encountering
unrelated material at the start of every line. This is a
particular problem for dyslexic readers who have difficulty
tracking the line of type anyway.
For screen readers navigation on the left means that the reader
must read unrelated text and link prior to reaching the content
which slows down the process of getting information from the page.
Remember that design exists to aid in communication not to inhibit
it.
