No one has written such an interface yet.

I wonder why it's always an uncle. :-) Given that theoretically enlighted 
people are having so few children these days, maybe no one has any uncles - let 
alone rich ones - any more anyway. And then, of course, there's our passion for 
killing off all of those unborn children that we do have, but now I'm getting 
way off topic.

Linux isn't all that unapproved these days anymore.

Same as you'd need to do with a Windows screen reader. A brailleNote needs to 
be in its braille display mode. A PAC Mate's braille display can be removed 
from the base unit and then directly used.
