Hi.
I am totally blind and have been using unix in one form or another for over
20 years.
I use a serially attached terminal that
has speech on it as my access method.
I started out using an hp 150 modified with speech
back in 1984 and now use
an old 486 with jaws for dos and commo as
my serial terminal.

phil
