Nice to know an actual TechniBraille user.

>  The particular device I have in my office works. 

This's also good to know. That driver really was written with absolutely no 
testing.

What's -t text.pln supposed to do. Brltty has no text table with that name, or 
even with a name similar to that.

-d serial:ttyUSB0 would be corfrect for a serial adapter. I'm not sure which 
brltty release he's using. If it's old then -d /dev/ttyUSB0 would be correct.

That makes sense. Specifying JAWS probably tells it to go into braille display 
mode for a PC screen reader.

What other choices does it have for that setting, and what is the setting 
itself called?

This shouldn't matter.

Are you able to test your TechniBraille with the latest brltty? We'd sure 
appreciate it if you could.
