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.
