Deon,

 

Win 7? XP?

 

Usually the easiest is to press insert + F11 with Jaws, and press connect
from there. Otherwise, start button, escape and tab twice to get to the
status bar menu, left/rigt to get to the stick and hit the applications key
and press the connect button from there.

 

The Vodacom software is also not accessable with Jaws but through this way
one can at least connect/disconnect.

 

Thanks,

Hi, People
Today I wish to bother you guys with something that may just open a can of
worms, as so many people don't seem to be active on the Internet? My
question to you is; How do you get on the Internet, what method do you use,
fixed line, Telkom, 3G, a cell phone, a data memory stick, blackberry,
Iphone, laptop, computer, tablet, paraffin stove? And how much does this
cost you? How easy/difficult is it for you to get connected every time?
I know I have this interesting thing that looks like a memory stick; it has
a SIM card inside, but to get connected to this thing takes some time, as as
soon as you plug this thing into a computer, a picture comes up, with
another kind of picture that Jaws doesn't tell you about, while it takes
some doing to find this "Connect" button by moving the mouse, when using
NVDA. This thing is really foolproof, as it fools me... So, here's another
gadget lying around somewhere in my house without any use. And I still
haven't figured out what the OCR in j13 and NVDA 2012.2 actually is supposed
to be for; once again, it doesn't turn me on? Am I , perhaps, becoming too
old to be turned on by gadgets??

And then I've had this Nokia 6210 Navigator which I have been using for over
3 years now; I simply plug it into my laptop, ENTER on a "Connect" link
which I created myself on my laptop, and as soon as I hear it has connected,
I can then go hit my own "Internet" link. This has been serving me very well
over the last 3 years, but since then I have had to "upgrade" to a c5, which
now uses Nokia OVI Suite, instead of the old trusted Nokia PC Suite. This
OVI thing sips my airtime faster than I can sip any beer, for some reason,
so I'm scared out of my wits of it. With the old, I could be on the Net for
hours, and if I don't download or upload, it only took me 1 or 2 MB's. Then
new one makes 100 MB disappear like nothing else.

My problem now is; if something would happen to this old 6210, what am I
going to do?

Do any of you have a Plan B for me? Is there a 3G stick which you can
actually connect yourself if you're blind? Is there a "Speaking phone" left
which can actually still be used as modem, without costing me an arm and a
leg? Or, maybe, my next laptop could have a SIM slot under its battery, and
its user interface is actually accessable? If you know about such a laptop,
pleas let me know; bearing in mind that I tend to be a bit slow in
understanding things, these days...?

If there's anything left these days which is actually blind-user-friendly,
do let me know, will you????!
