Hello, every time i plug/unplug my braille from the macbook pro contracted
braille gets turned on while i previously turned it off because i dont like

Braille seems to work fairly well although speech gives more information. I
really need to program my br
remotely. Your best bet is
really to get a firewall router that supports NAT. Otherwise you are subjecting
your PC software to too much open visability. Apple airport will work, but so
will Linksys and other inexpensive home routers.
