Re: blazie note takers

hi saqib shaikh

While it may not be exactly what you want, there used to be a program
called "a2x" or something like that, which allowed a second computer to
serially access a workstation running X Windows.  You may be able to
find this at the MIT web site archive, or some such place.  I'm guessing
that the braille lite 40 would be able to communicate with X Windows
using this application, altho access to X Windows might be more than
you are looking for, in terms of access to Linux.

We've developed "serial" access to several operating systems  (e.g.,
DOS, Windows, Macintosh) over the years, and the method is
called SerialKeys, but we've not yet done such for Linux.  Sorry, but
perhaps the above information will be helpful, or bring other
thoughts?
