But hang on, my friend has a bluetooth dongle. You're saying then that that even won't work without the serial cable? I'm slightly baffled here. Thanks in advance.

Chris, No, you do not. You do need the serial cable that comes with the braille note, though. This is the only way the braille terminal will run, because that is the only way JAWS will recognize that the braille terminal is there. I think the same is true for Window-eyes, and most likely even the Braille Note itself. I have used the braille terminal with both JAWS and Window-Eyes, but I prefer JAWS, so that is what I usually use the braille terminal program with. I have to use a USB serial adapter though because my laptop does not have a serial port. So, unless her computer has a serial port, you're screwed. James in TN "Trust yourself, Trust no one else.
