Hello, Some of you may wish to know that I think i have largely solved the weird behavior that I was getting with my Braille Lite and BRLTTY. I had a winmodem that was set to be com3. that shares interrupt 4 with com1 where the Braille Lite is plugged in. So it was interfering with BRLTTY. I just removed it, and everything seems to be fine. Just thought that knowing this might save someone else a lot of grief.
