There is no automatic solution (for now). What you can do is to make
BrlAPI listen on TCP on localhost:

api-parameters Host=127.0.0.1:0  # Accept any internet connection.

and then forward that TCP port (it's port 4101) to the remote host.
On the remote host you'll also have to use e.g.

export WINDOWPATH=7

to tell the applications there to show up on VT 7 of your local system.
You can fine-tune with by using e.g. xlsclients to get the Window number
of the rdp window (e.g. 0x80bac2), and then use

export WINDOWPATH=7:0x80bac2

so that the output of the remote applications show up on that window.

(yes, it's in the todo list to extend rdp and vnc to forward BrlAPI
themselves)

[BRLTTY] OT: BrlAPI connection through rdp

[Halim Sahin]

Hi folks,

since some time I am looking for a solution to use my brailledisplay
with a rdp session.

The only thing I've got running is to stop brltty, load the kernel
drivers ftdi_sio and usbserial and redirect /dev/ttyUSB0 to the remote
machine. This works with freerdp-x11.

Doing it that Way isn't much practicable.
Stopping brltty is bad if something goes wrong and then you have no
chance to get feedback in braille from the client machine.

If you know a better way to do that please 
help!
BR.
Halim
