The best unix access is done directly on unix. Emacspeak runns on all unixes provided you have a hardware synth. Software speech is only supported on some unixes. Braille with the power braille is also supported under unix with brltty. Speakup is another great alternative if you are working mainly with console applications,on a linux system, and think that having access to startup and shutdown . A little more discovery into what type of unix and what type of software will provide many answers. My point in all this is while jaws provides halfway decent support for unix via remote connections, provided the terminal settings are alright, and provided you are working in a console environment, and provided that you are lucky enough to find a good jaws friendly telnet or ssh application, you will never get the same access you get in jaws working on your own desktop. Working remotely with jaws connecting to a unix system will never provide you with the panning and cursor routing and panning you probably enjoy on your powerbraille. In contrast, having a unix or linux system will whether that be remote or on-site access. My advice to you is discover what you need first, try out the various telnet/ssh programs, setup linux and learn it, join some linux revelant mailing lists and if you have time gradually learn both methods of accessing unix. Searching for emacspeak and speakup will give you all the information you need for joining their mailing lists and get you in touch with many more people who can help you far better than I can. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jeff lukacsena" <jliven@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 10:18 PM Subject: Question on using Jaws with Unix and other call center software Hello Everyone, I have been interviewing with call centers and customer service companies. Many of them have mentioned that they use UNIX when I ask them about their computer systems. How can I use JFW 6.0 with UNIX. I have a Power Braille 40 as well. What will I need to get meaning software, and what will I have to do to get JFW to work in UNIX. Also what are good Call Center software that I can use with JFW? Thanks, Jeff Lukacsena Cell: (412) 558-0229 Home: (724) 325-1127 E-mail: jliven@xxxxxxxxxx -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
