As far as I know, those boxes run Solaris or Linux, and such interfaces can be changed, but you would need to know how to edit scripts or get under the hood. I personally don't have any experience with any of those boxes, so this is only what I'd assume in such situations. IMHO JavaScript is just a waste of time--usually it is used to perform some kind of client validation. i.e. Check if data is entered within some kind of field masks, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Buddy Brannan" <davros@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 10:39 PM Subject: Re: NFB Net goes linux! > On Fri, Sep 20, 2002 at 08:12:00PM -0400, Ann Parsons wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Naw, Alex, they can RTFM. > > It may be as simple as that, or maybe not.
