[BRLTTY] Fwd: brltty can't find HT Braillino20 on Win7

[Christian Severin]

Hello, Mario,
hello, list,

thank you for your time.

Granted, but as I mentioned before, it doesn't work
when attempting to use the -serial switch, either.
Shouldn't it be possible to plug in a Braillino 20 via
serial-to-USB cable, and then to connect using

brltty -bht -dserial:COM4 ,

provided that COM4 is indeed the correct bus ID?

Yes, that is the ID in brldefs-ht.h that I hoped to see.

None at all: power, LAN, and that serial-to-USB adapter for the
Braillino.

Hum. Perhaps I should build brltty on my machine, and
debug-step through the connection process.

But first I'll try re-installing brltty and playing with the settings
some more.

Thank you again for your troubles,
cheers,
