Hi All.

I've sorted this one out.
For anyone that needs to know the easiest way to get putty to talk as if
it's a standard console window is to change the curser to underlined,
not blinking and to tell Hal to use the console window map file.

Doing this I don't need to go in to virtual focus at all, each line
printed on to the putty window is spoken automatically which makes life
so much easier.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Nick.

Subject: Putty access for SSHing

Hi All.

I'm trying to use putty to SSH in to one of our Linux servers.

I was hopping it would work out of the box with my screen reader but it
looks like it doesn't.

Are there any users of putty that can suggest which settings I should
play with to get it to speak correctly.

I'm using hal but I hope that any settings changed in Putty needed for
other screen readers should work for hal.

If putty is a no go area are there any better command line based ssh
clients?

Thanks.

Nick.
