[BRLTTY] Alva BC640 question

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi Dave,

Sorry if this is useless without a log...

Using 5789:

Dot 1 produces: a

Dot 4 produces: `

Chord b produces backspace. All good so far.

Dot 2 produces: 1.

But dots 1+2 produce: x

Hmm. I wonder. I'm running the Dvorak keyboard in which every letter
except a and m is mapped to another key. The qwerty b key produces an
x. So I wonder if the Alva might be properly pressing the b code but
it's x on my system. Let's see:

Dots 1+3+4 produce: m

Yep. Let's see. The c key produces a j; thus:

dots 1+4 produce: j

Dots 1+2+3 should produce n: n

Yep.

The Enter key produces a carriage return.

You can do:

loadkeys dvorak

if you're masochistic...

All in all I'd say this is an absolutely stunning beginning! I haven't
tried all the keys but so far I haven't found a mistake except for
Dvorak.
