active sync for linux

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Is there a program that will allow a linux system to communicate using
active sync so you could transfer data between the braille note and the
linux system?

No, but you could use a compact flash card, and a compact flash card
reader for the pc to achieve the same thing.

What do you call "active sync"?  Several data tranfer programs have been
developped for Linux for VisioBraille (vstp), EuroBraille (trf) and
HandyTech (htcom).

BTW, this question would get far better answers on the brltty@mielke.cc
mailing list.

I beg to differ on that, since his question was regarding activesync
functionality, and had nothing to do with using the braillenote as a
braille display under gnu/linux. Yes, perhaps this list wasn't the
best place for his question, but I think the brltty list would have
been an even worse place for it. Again, see the above URL for an
explanation of what activesync is.

Ah ok, that's a microsoft-specific protocol.  I thought it was a braille
device brand.

But in the brltty mailing you'll probably more easily find people that
use BrailleNote devices than on the speakup mailing.

ot perhaps, spell checkers for pine?

[Karen Lewellen]

Greetings,
I am a shellworld baby, as  I have often shared.  While Ken is marvelous 
as to keeping us up to date the best way he can, I do have a 
question...actually two.
We have a spell checker incorporated into our pine setup.  It is apparently 
not full proof though as I discover missed obvious misspellings later, and 
others have noted this too.
I have no idea what we are using, I can find out of course, but does 
anyone know of a great option for pine, perhaps that even has a thesaurus?
Second, once in a while others make mention of other browsers aside from 
Lynx the cat and the two variations in name of the chain, links and 
e-links.
for reasons that I respect even if I do not understand them, e-links cannot 
be made to work on shellworld just now.  I realize others dislike it, but 
I found it helpful when links itself was not working well with javascript 
locations.
Any other browser ideas we might want to refer to Ken for consideration?
Thanks all around,
Karen

browsers, was Re: ot perhaps, spell checkers for pine?

Hi Karen,
You might have a look at edbrowse (http://edbrowse.sourceforge.net).
It has Javascript support, and it works well for quite a few sites.

HTH,
