I dont know which operating systems you are talking about, but the
ALVA Satellite 570 (and 584) is perfectly supported by BRLTTY.
In fact, I use a Satellite 584 since about 2 years.

Are you saying you failed to get a Satellite working with BRLTTY?
On what operating system, Linux?
What parameters did you use?

I fail to understand what you are actually asking for.

Perhaps it is USB support for the Satellite 570?
I have to admit I never managed to use a Satellite via USB, but that
is basically because the USB port of my model is dead.

Serial works fine, and USB-to-serial adaptors are cheap.

P.S.: I wish you wouldn't associate blindness with keywords like
"poor" and "salvation".  I don't consider myself poor, but I
still use a ALVA Satellite 584 every day.
