Yeah, I'm looking at that, but it doesn't support batch use, just the
equivalent of tethered use. Kinda negates the usefulness of the thing,
I think.

After a bit more searching, I see that there's a BlackBerry interface
written in Java mentioned on the Microvision web site, but don't know
what its capabilities are. I've also found a pay Java program called
Readerware (http://www.readerware.com/rwJava2.html) that might be able
to run under FreeBSD, but was hoping for something open source.

According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BarcodeReaders it can
work as a virtual USB keyboard.
