[BRLTTY] an accessible VM to run Linux on

[Claassen, Ginger B.]

Hi Jason, 

I can only talk a bit about my experiences I made in the last months 
with my instllation which is as follows:

Laptop with windows xp and vmware workstation v5.5 and linux suse 10.1 
as guest os. 
I tried both the suse-blinux and the brltty driver and both work 
depending on the braille display you want to connect. The suse-blinux 
for example is not capable to support the Papenmeier el40s via usb 
port which works absolutely fine with brltty. 
Vmware is also capable of running a native installed os which I did 
not try yet since my installation of linux I had before was installed 
into three partitions - the old fashion way and that does not work. 

Using a virtual machine under linux - no idea if that works and how 
since I don't know if one of them runs in textmode - did not get 
gnopernicus or orca running so far ;:)

If you have any questions regarding the way I have chosen, feel free 
to contact me.

The box said to install Nt 4.0 or better - so I installed Solaris
