by the braille device could write mskermit scripts and have mskermit
handle that braille device. Another possibility would be the commo
package though the script language is more complex for commo. An entry in
autoexec.bat to run the communications package with a command line script
written by a user could reach out to the braille device and wake it up and
get it going. There's an expect/wait syntax for kermit scripts along with
a set command to set things like com ports and speed and the like. The
output command sends commands down the port line which is com1 unless
changed by a user or script then you have an input statement and specify
