Iterestingly when I finally got a sighted colleague to look at it in gnome here is what we find.
using gconftool-2 at the console the device shows as brltty however in gnome it shows as none and there is no drop down to select from. I fond that at the end of day yesterday and am looking into it further today. Note that none of my colleagues have worked with screen reader technology before so I am having to do some interpretation of what they are reading.
