As it is, if a user wants to run speakup and BrlTTY, there could be a problem with both programs wanting to share the same devices. THere has in fact been discussion on the BrlTTY mailing list about extending BrlTTY to have speech/screen reader via keyboard functionality. Patches would be accepted for BrlTTY to do this. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso at themuso.com Jabber: themuso at jabber.org.au -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGePnGjVefwtBjIM4RAnMNAJ43ASbKihiYyojkrDJLvfC4WdMCWgCgjCXf slLR/lzF7/uHbYGy9Cpgl5E= =xftW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
