Hi,
There is no JAWS for UNIX. Some people use JFW with a terminal emulator
connected to a UNIX system but JAWS itself will not run natively on any of
the UNIX varients.
There are quite a number of pretty good tools for blind UNIX users out there
and most are available for free. If you are interested in this topic, I
recommend checking out the blinux web page and mailing list (I think there's
a link to it from the Red Hat site).
