[BRLTTY] Using Seika 40 braille display under Ubuntu

>Is it possible to use this terminal under Linux Ubuntu.

Yes, but I believe you'll need a newer release of brltty than Ubuntu currently 
has. Your best alternative, if you don't mind it, is to build the latest 
development release from the repository.

Yes, this can be done on Linux too. In fact, I suspect it'll happen 
automatically as soon as you connect the Seika. You should get a device name 
like ttyUSB0.
