And what about "power-of to power-off support. How is ANY blind linux user going to manage to fsck a disk when needed. We might as well go back to friggin yasr. We just got SpeakUP into the kernel and may soon be getting support from other kernel developers to support serial ports properly from kernelspace, and you want to ditch it all and go back to prehistoric SpeakUP and scratching at fleas. You people disgust me. Michael -- Linux User: 177869 # Powered By: Intel # http://rivensight.dyndns.org Postings Copyrighted 2010-2011 by: Michael Ferranti
