Re: [orca-list] Orca Running on Remote Servers

I do use a HumanWare Brailliant 80.  VNC does not send anything to JAWS or
the display once the Linux window is opened.

Do you use a braille display?  I wonder if vnc would transfer braille.

If it did then technically it should be possible.
I don't think it does ; so do you know of an alternative?
