[BRLTTY] Choosing a suitable braille display

Yes. I already have the specifications for its protocdol (as well as for that 
of the Braille Sense). If anyone who has one of these would like to volunteer 
to do some testing for me, I'll raise the priority of this item.

This is a question which only you can answer for yourself. Either the smaller 
size of a notetaker display is or is not a problem for you when doing 
programming. If it is then you'll need two displays. If it isn't then you 
won't. It's one of those personal taste issues.
