The message is spoken by the braille lite, nothing shows up on the braille display. If I put the braille lite in interactive mode and simply echo data to the serial port it goes in fits and starts about every 10 seconds it sends another 10 bytes. I am beginning to suspect hardware problems with my second serial port. > By the way: I know of a BL18 owner who got his display in March of 1999 and > hasn't had its firmware updated.

Serial tracking is on, interactive is on, serial port is on, baud rate is at 9600, no parity, half duplex, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, hardware handshaking (though I have tried software as well). I will try it with the other serial port on the pc and see if I have any luck. -- Unix is a user friendly operating system. It just picks its friends more carefully than others.
