This is a very old topic. You guys should have waited till I got back from my vacation. :-) But I think I have a couple useful notes: First, for Red Hat users only, it doesn't seem to be known generally that one can download any package for your distro from rhn. To do so: a. If you have a demo account that is no longer valid (expired or for a different RH version) sign onto RHN and delete it. Then establish a new demo account. Do this at rhn.redhat.com. b. From a working account, log in as above, then select Software from the bar across the top, skip down past all the ISOs to the relevant channel (for example, Red Hat Linux 8.0), go over to the number of packages (1439 I think), and click on that. You get a list of every package in the distro, broken up into 20 or so items per screen. Scroll through the list if you can't find the package by searching. As for SSH, I haven't tried PUTTY but do have scripts for the Windows client from www.ssh.com. Its cursor doesn't blink which makes it harder to support. My scripts are Braille-oriented and should work in all versions of Jaws except 4.50 (they do work in 4.51). Daddy's cautiously proud of his baby, so let me know if it looks interesting. Speech debugging shouldn't be hard to add if this is needed, and I'm even mildly interested in doing so.
