Would this work for BrailleNote also? It was using the ipaq Pocket-PC serial interface with a custom vendorid and deviceid; I had to load the ipaq module with parameters then set up brltty over that port. But perhaps there's some way to speak that protocol straight to the BN, I don't recall it being in the driver though. Cheers, Sabahattin ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
