I am glad they are working on a x screen reader, but I'd also like to see
something that would work under linux, without x.  I want to be able to run
bash, or tcsh without running a whole  nother termina.  I like nn, elm, and
would probably switch to unix if those programs would talk on my machine.
For now, I must use a local provider.
