I have phoned them and left a message for them to phone me back.
I am in the same city.
If one take into account that our government has an open-source strategy favourable to open-source usage in government, there might be cases where console access is thesollution.
TN3270 emulation is an example.

Hi. If they are asking about GUI access to Linux, the answ is no. If they wan console access to Linux, the answer is yes. The fact they mention JFW makes me think they mean GUI access. Is it possible to find out more information on exactly what they want to do?

Hi Hans,
I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to open source, so please excuse me if I ask stupid questions. Our blind users currently uses Jaws, but we have a serious problem when we try and find work for them because employers do not want to take the risk of splashing out on software for a new disabled employee. If we could use open source software we may be able to help a lot of people. Is there a program out there that can compare to Jaws in terms of stability and features? Where can I find out more? Our support guys are not familiar with open source - what can they do to gain more knowledge in order to support our users, should we decide to go the open source route.
I'll really appreciate any help you can give me.
Best wishes,
Anina Immelman
