The BNS is a 640 and is running December 31, 1997 revision. The BLT is a M20 running June 20, 2002 revision. The linux box is running RH 7.3 with Speakup on run level 3. Yes the Audaptor stops at the same place every time - as soon as the welcome screen comes up. I am looking for a 'previously owned' hardware synthesizer too - support by JAWS not a requirement but nice if it is. Thanks!!! --David At 03:43 PM 9/11/2002 -0400, you wrote: >Hi.
