I've heard from a reliable source that the Brailliant BI models from HumanWare
work well with BRLTTY. However, I haven't had a chance to try one yet, other
than in demonstration at an exhibition, where the display wasn't connected to
a host system.

At current prices, they're impressive products so far as features are
concerned.

I would suggest visiting the Web sites of all the well known braille display
manufacturers (e.g., Baum, EuroBraille, Freedom Scientific, Handytech, HIMS,
HumanWare, Optelec, Papenmeier, etc.) to check whether there are other
products that you want to include in your comparison but which you might have
missed previously.
