Re: Gnopernicus, brltty and debian

Okay.  We discovered that braille is started in the startup box but the is 
no list of option in preferences/braille/device.  It gives one choice that 
being none.

Or at least so I am told.  I might add that speech does not work on that 
computer because linux doesn't like the sound card.  We are searching for 
a different one (if we have one) but at this point I must rely on braille 
and/or sighted help.
