You misunderstand me. The BNS was just particular to my circumstance. Digital Equipment Corporation certainly didn't design their bios for a particular device from a particular assistive technology vendor. Quite the opposite. They used a standard mechanism in the computer trade, called serial terminal, so that anyone with any kind of a terminal capable of serial communication could use whatever device it is they had. It just happens that my serial terminal device, that I happen to have, was a BNS. It could easily be anything else, as has already been pointed out.
