[bcab] Re: SSH and JAWS

Hi,

Well I use both Putty and Terminal services (both Windows and Unix) nearly 
every day, so if you want any info please let me know.

When you are in putty, if you move the Jaws cursor around, this doesn't move 
the active cursor - i.e, the cursor on the remote end.  To do this you need to 
come out of Jaws cursor and go into PC cursor.  I am only a speech user 
however, not really using braille much.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Subject: [bcab] SSH and JAWS
 
Hi folk

Any info/tips on this would probably earn my undying gratitude, since it might 
well make all the difference between my retaining or losing employment, and 
consequently, have a significant and lasting impact on my continuing ability to 
purchase vast quantities of alcohol (:->).

We have never really found a satisfactory solution to the problems presented to 
a screenreader user remotely accessing our huge domain of W2K servers - Windows 
Terminal Services, CITRIX, and all that stuff, so The Company are planning to 
shift me from the "too-difficult-drawer" to a team which supports Sun Solaris 
machines, where, it is hoped that, with a bit of on-the-job training from new 
colleagues, added to my existing UNIX knowledge, I may soon be able to offer a 
useful contribution. As part of this new setup I shall no longer be permitted 
to use telnet (which used to work fine with JAWS and my beat-up old Handy Tech 
display). We are required to use SSH. I have so far tried this with Putty and 
Teraterm, but, certainly with the current configurations, neither seems to work 
satisfactorily. When I was using telnet and issued command-line instructions, 
sure, I had to use the JAWS cursor to review resulting output, but I always 
ended up with a cursor sitting nicely at the # prompt waiting for my next 
input. Not so with Putty and Teraterm - do they offer a cursor at all? Should I 
be using a completely different emulator? Are there in existence JAWS scripts 
which would make Putty and/or Teraterm more friendly. Any advice most welcome.

tia.

Regards
Bob
