Re: [orca-list] Accessible mud clients with orca on Linux

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

I haven't played muds very much, but at one point, I remember gnome-mud 
working pretty well with Orca. I think the more advanced mudders on this 
list may recommend tintin++, which is a terminal application that does 
support sound. It's possible that it may have support for talking to the 
speech subsystem directly, but I'm not really sure if it does that. I do 
know that it works with terminal screen readers like Fenrir and Speakup, 
but can't attest to its accessibility with Orca, given the fact that 
Orca can sometimes be a little less than perfect in terminals due to 
some bugs in the graphical terminal system. Although the small number of 
things I do in a terminal work perfectly here, your mileage may vary 
when it comes to gaming, especially mudding. Do give gnome-mud a try and 
report back if it's to your liking. Otherwise, it should be fairly easy 
to get help with tintin++, though I would recommend mud-related topics 
be posted to either the Blinux list <blinux-list redhat com> or possibly 
the Stormux list <stormux groups io>, as there are some fairly serious 
mudders in both places, and both have a large number of terminal and 
text mode users who may be able to help as well.
