[BRLTTY] Windows version - Brltty and Jaws sharing a port

As far as I know, Jaws tests the port at most 2 times, very rapidly when
Jaws starts. If it can't get the device it gives up.
For this reason I've never run the Windows brltty installer. I stop Jaws and
then run brltty as an application and I don't know whether this would
preclude its use in NVDA as I don't have that yet.
I think what I'd suggest is, set Jaws not to start automatically. That way
every time the system starts you'd get brltty. Then when you want to use
Jaws you could stop brltty (net stop brlapi?) and then start Jaws manually.
HTH,
