[BRLTTY] BrlAPI driver for JAWS?

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

Did anyone ever look into this?  What would be required to get such
a thing up and running?  Anyone ever worked with Freedom scientific
people regarding JAWS stuff, do they have a SDK or something?

Why?  Well, these days certain CPUs/mainboards can do native virtualisation,
so one can run a Windows system on ones linux PC, without the
typical immense speed loss of emulated solutions of the past.  Now, when
switching between OSes, it would be nice not to have to restart screen readers.
Since BrlAPI is network driven, and Xen allows several virtualized
instances to communicate over network, a BrlAPI driver
for JAWS would actually be useful here I think...  Just point it
back to the (domain 0 in Xen terminology) host system, and only
let BRLTTY use the display from the host system...

I've also read that something called kvm will be included in 2.6.20,
which allows basically to do the same thing as Xen aready does.
I guess this would be useful for both kind of virtualisation solutions.
