Thanks for the tip...I'm looking to get something off the shelf...as much as possible.
These Blind folk use this software/hardware combo called JAWS. I don't want to mess with it (it runs under windows,) so I have a separate Ubuntu box and a KVM switch setup that I can give her. Her big problem is Dial up. I'm purchasing a short term account through all2easy.com for $5, per month, to test out the modem under Ubuntu. I got a US Robotics USB Modem that I figured I'd test out and set up for local faxing...though I wonder if I'd ever use it.
