The BrailleNote [bn] driver is the one to use. One possibility is that your 
Apex is using the new BrailleNote (actually, KeySoft) protocol. Which release 
of KeySoft is your BrailleNote running?

We haven't implemented the new KeySoft protocol yet since we haven't yet had 
access to a device which uses it. I do have documentation for it, though, so, 
as long as I can have some kind of access to a device which uses the newer 
protocol, support for it could be added.
