Hi all, I get the impression that a major problem for some of us is the fact
that some firewalls used are not screen reader friendly, or, less so than
others.
I use Jaws and have over the years tried many firewalls. The one I have found
to be most simple and accessible is OutPost Pro by Agnitum.
Each time an application wants to do something new, like BookPort Transfer
wanting to upgrade, it warns you and you can give the go ahead instead of like
what some firewalls do, which is to either not present a dialogue box and
simply block the application, or present a dialogue box that can't be read by a
screen reader.
I am not plugging a product but just stating what has saved me a lot of hastle
and time.
