Rob, The thing is, you can only use Terminal with the screen reader that supports it (JAWS, window-Eyes, Hal, Mobile Speak Pocket, Mobile speak Smartphone, etc.). USB is primarily used for activeSync. I have a hypothesis: if the activeSync connection is set to connections other than USB, then it will allow you to use USB as a terminal connection (you must select between serial, Bluetooth, Ethernet and InfraRed, not USB). Cheers, Joseph P.S. could anybody who has enough experience with screen readers that use UsB connection test this out?

I was going to ask about why you can't use USB to connect. My computer that I use (the hand held one i told you about) doesn't have serial port, and in the case of the PK especially, i'd have a really hard time finding an adapter or getting the screen reader set up through the built in keyboard for Bluetooth. --- JD Townsend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello: > It would be wonderful if the BN could connect via USB for use as a > braille display.
