well it may. However, it depends on: - if linux sees the convertor as a serial-device - the port it is on never changes - linux attatches always the same device-file to it. So ti mroe depends on how linux precieves the convertor. It it nicely detects it as being a serial-port, it mya work. I've noticed the removal of the rs232 ports on laptops too. It eeams that Toshiba and IBM do without but I think dell still has them. On Fri, 9 Jul 2004, Mike Keithley wrote: > I'm currently using brltty with a Powerbraille display.
