Hallo there! Does anyone know someone using a Braille display on a freebsd nbox? Or is there anyone who knows how to get such a display to work with freebsd? I know there are a couple of drivers which does the job for Linux. However, I have not heard of any blind bsd-user. I've checked quite a few faq's, and rtfm'd the manual without success. I am a fairly competent user of Unix, but then I used it at the university, using a Linux machine to telnet into a rhost. So, I've no sys-admin experience. I would greatly appreciate help from someone out there. Thanks very much. Lal. ------=_NextPart_000_0047_01C134BF.6A72F080 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3720.400"' name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><SPAN class=3D750522704-04092001><FONT color=3D#0000ff face=3DArial = size=3D2>If the=20 Braille display can take a RS232 serial input then you can configure = FreeBSD to=20 use one</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D750522704-04092001><FONT color=3D#0000ff face=3DArial = size=3D2></FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=3D750522704-04092001><FONT = color=3D#0000ff=20 face=3DArial size=3D2>of the PC serial ports as it's = console.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D750522704-04092001><FONT color=3D#0000ff face=3DArial = size=3D2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <P><FONT size=3D2>Ted=20 Mittelstaedt &= nbsp; &n= bsp; &nb= sp; =20 tedm@toybox.placo.com<BR>Author=20 of: &nbs= p;  = ; =20 The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide<BR>Book=20 website:  = ; = =20 <A href=3D"http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com/"=20 target=3D_blank>http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com</A><BR></FONT></P>; <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE=20 style=3D"BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff solid 2px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: = 5px"> <DIV class=3DOutlookMessageHeader><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman"=20 size=3D2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B>=20 owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG=20 [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]<B>On Behalf Of</B> Lal=20 Manavado<BR><B>Sent:</B> Monday, September 03, 2001 9:49 = PM<BR><B>To:</B>=20 freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG<BR><B>Subject:</B> Use of Braille = display with=20 freebsd.<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hallo there!<BR>Does anyone know = someone using=20 a Braille display on a freebsd nbox?
