[BRLTTY] Using the Orbit Reader 20 with BRLTTY and Orca

[Nolan Darilek]

Cool, so I'd like to figure out what needs to happen to get BRLTTY 
working under Orca.


I see this in /etc/brltty.conf:


api-parameters Auth=group:brlapi        # Allow some local group
...

braille-parameters ba:Auth=/etc/brlapi.key


What is the difference between api-parameters and braille-parameters ba? 
These lines superficially appear to serve the same purpose, but which 
should I be using? Obviously they both contradict each other as things 
stand, but I'd rather know which parameters I should be changing before 
I start doing so.


Also, is there a separate service that needs to run for brlapi, or is it 
built into BRLTTY?


Thanks.
