EM and most of the oracle applications are now written to be used via the w= eb, so that shouldn't be a problem either from a windows pc or from firefox= under EL with orca. Sqlplus is a command-line client, so simply use orca and open a gnome-termi= nal window and run sqlplus in it. I can verify that this works well. Beca= use I need to setup an EL virtual machine for some of my testing, I will ch= eck on getting Speakup to work as I have some time and get back to the list= about it. -----Original Message----- From: Willem van der Walt [mailto:wvdwalt@csir.co.za]=20 Sent: Monday, November 05, 2012 1:38 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Cc: ylees Subject: Re: Speakup for Oracle Enterprise Linux Hi, If you can find the kernel headers that correspond to the kernel running on= the Oracle Enterprise linux, you should be able to build speakup for that = box even if the staging modules are not present. You can however do most things through a remote ssh connection to an oracle= server. When you talk about Oracle applications, I suppose you refer to things like= Oracle financials etc. My own experience with those which was long ago, indicated that Oracle's ap= ps are notoriusly inaccessible. Unless life in the Oracle world has changed a lot, I do not see the need to= be able to work on the Oracle server directly with spee=3Dch. Use ssh from= a normal linux PC for that. Others with more reacent Oracle experience should confirm/deny this.
