Many of you are familiar with Braille TTY, a Linux-based Braille screenreader which provides access to a Linux box. The Pulse Data Group is pleased to announce the arrival of a Braille TTY driver for the BrailleNote family of products. This driver enables the user of the BrailleNote to access a Linux Box using his/her BrailleNote as a Braille display. It should be noted that firstly, this version of Braille TTY is still in Public Beta and should be released shortly. Secondly, Braille TTY is a free downloadable program. What this means is that if you choose to use this software, you do so with the understanding that HumanWare nor any other agent of the PDI Group will be offering technical assistance for you to install or use this driver. This is typically the practice by all mainstream and adaptive technology companies when its customers opt to use downloadable "freeware", although HumanWare does support to some degree its customers' usage of Microsoft's ActiveSync utility. HumanWare has invested resources into ensure that this driver is developed to present to you, the BrailleNote customer, additional flexibility with this product line. the Braille tty project can be found at: > http://mielke.cc/brltty > From this location select the download link and download the 2.99z beta. > This beta has support for both the Braille 18 and 32 cell models as > well as the Braille qt models. This download contains all sources > and documentation. The project maintainer is Dave > mielke <http://mielke.cc/brltty> , dave@mielke.cc. Thanks. With Regards, Larry L.
