[...] Hi Tim, I'm always surprised by the seemingly void for this kind of support in OSS. It's not an easy thing to do, and possibly there is a lack of standards (what with all the different X toolkits,etc...)... There seems to be a FFox extension to read the pages, Fire Fox, http://www.firevox.clcworld.net/ , which may good enough for webmin. You may want to check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader and, possibly more to the point, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screen_readers Let us know what you come up with :) Regards, _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "We must openly accept all ideologies and systems as means of solving humanity's problems.
