    OK ! I simply retry to install debian 9.0 issuing
    brltty=tn,ttyS0 as parameter just after boot beep. But it
    does not start brltty. If I try the same with a debian 6.0
    cd it perfectly works before I encounter a network
    problem. So it seems that I cannot use debian 6.0 in my
    network environement (801X protocol). With a debian 8.0 it
    fails like with a debian 9.0. So I wonder if recent brltty
    versions might have lost tehcnibraille support for any
    obscure reason. Dave told me that driver for this material
    has not been changed and I can belive it but might it
    happen that something in the upper layer of the brllty code
    may cause that this driver no longer works or something
    else ....

    In fact I do not understand anything ! Making tests is very
    difficult since I do not have any computor with
    simultaneously brllty 5.x installed and a serial port !


    Regards

    Pierre
