List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I hear ocrshop works well not sure of the state of usb support for scanners under Linux some go and some don't. I thought openbook didn't like the 5200 too much; but they might have fixed that. In the short term my recommendation is to run Windows 98 second edition for all your scanning needs. BTW vmware 3 lets jaws's software speech run in an emulated machine. Regards, Kerry.
