What interface is proprietary? I just don't get this repeated "you can't" from multiple authors in this thread. A small Linux distro with newly written device drivers for hardware specifics should do it. Sure, it's not already out there but, look, Linux runs on lots of hardware platforms and many of them have unique hardware to manage. For example, I have it running here on a desktop, laptop, AMD server, wireless router, and a VoIP/SIP telephone set. These certainly have proprietary hardware interfaces. What part of Linux and open source in general isn't understood here? Jim Kutsch Morristown, NJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann K.

You cannot put Linux on it. You can, however use BrlTTY with a PC running Linux. Sorry, but that's the story. Ann P. -- Ann K.
