[BRLTTY] Brltty is installed on my Mac, but the braille display doesn't start.

[Cheryl Homiak]

Brltty works fine on the Mac too once you get the hang of it except that when something in the OS changes or something in brltty changes you have to regroup sometimes. That isn't really surprising considering that brltty on the Mac, though it depends on the Unix underpinnings of the OS,  isn't integrated into the system but works only in terminal and then only with screen.

May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You, Lord,
my rock and my Redeemer.
(Psalm 19:14 HCSB)
