[BRLTTY] Alva BC680

[Tami Kinney]

Thanks! When I checked this morning, the file was not there. So I 
disabled braille support in Orca, ran the installation process again, 
and it worked.

BRLTTY 4.2 was still running, so I uninstalled it through the Ubuntu 
software center, then ran the installing process for 4.3 again. Now that 
it what is showing. Whew!

It looks good from here! Now to see what happens when I hook up the 
display... /smile/

Thank you for help with my newbie troubles!
