True, but depending on each individual JAWS user, it may take
significantly longer to read the entire screen compared to a sighted
user. The inactivity will last longer. Nevertheless, dropped
connections via dial-up are a real pain for anyone, and the sluggishness
is enough to drive one with a screen reader crazy. This is especially
true once used to broadband.

I think you may be misunderstanding what "activity" means here. If
you're
sighted, and just sit there reading the text omni a single web page for
a
long time without clicking on any control or link, that's not
"activity,"
either. It isn't a Jaws problem.

the problem I had when I had dial-up was that I kept getting booted off
the
web because they didn't recognize JAWS reading a web page as activity.

Broadband vs dialup really doesn't have anything to do with jaws. It's
more
to do with speed. If she is going to be doing a lot of downloading I say
stick with broadband of some type whether it be cable or dsl.
