Not strictly an accessibility question but hope someone may be able to
help anyway:
I Have more USB devices than USB ports, pressumably I need an USB hub to
resolve this?
I would like to be able to use some devices from more than one machine -
although the machines are networked I would prefer not to always have to
switch on which ever a device happens to be connected to in order to be
able to use it.
Are there any hubs which can be connected to my router so that all
devices become independantly accessible via the network?
And finally - I have one printer which only has a parallel connection,
is there such thing as a parallel to usb or ethernet converter which
would allow me to put this printer on to the network either via the hub
as described above or directly via a free port on the router.
Cheers

Hi all:
Have any plus.net subscribers tried the new Webmail interface. I'm
having problems in as far as once I long in the interface seems only to
be accessible using the jaws cursor, not the virtual pc cursor. Not
certain however whether this is an access problem or related to other
graphics card driver issues I'm currently having. Even using jaws cursor
to start a new message I can't suss out how to get in to the message
body either, entering in to what I thought was the right area infact
appears always to take me in to the subject field. Can't change the
selection in the layout view to see if any of theother layouts are any
better and it seems not to want me to log in using the basic interface,
only the advanced ie6 option. Choosing basic always results in a short
delay and being returned to the log-in screen.

Sharon, if you're on XP and load SP2, it has something in it which
prevents them from appearing automatically.
Cheers now.

Sharon,
There's also a program on the jfwlite called ad shield, I'm not sure of
its=20 effectiveness though. You need to go to:
www.jfwlite.com
Click on programs and you'll find it there.
Cheers.
