It seems like every service that offers services to the blind wants their own individual verification from a doctor. Each trip to the doctor means time off work, office visit copays and no actual service rendored, etc. I'm glad they are willing to work with NLS so the same verification can be used; so much more efficient, frankly. I'm greateful for my life time membership with RFB I got before they went to a renewable one. Anyhow, I believe I went there before the doctor verification was removed but I successfully accessed the site with lynx. I have lynx with SSL installed here if that really made the difference.
