wrote to the iPAQ mailing list:
"We (Nicolas Pitre and myself) have successfully ported BRLTTY to the iPaq
and tested the setup by interfacing with a BrailleLite 18 through the
serial port.
BRLTTY is a program that allows access to the Linux text-mode console
using various brands of Braille displays.
The BrailleLite is a small electronic Braille notetaker device which can
act as a small refreshable Braille display. It also has keys so I can not
only read but also type.
So there's just the iPaq and the BrailleLite device (with a horrible
cable in between) and that's all I need to fully use the console on
the iPaq (in text-mode). A pretty powerful setup, yet very small.
At the Ottawa Linux Symposium in July, using a network card in my iPaq
and borrowing the internet connection they supplied, I was actually able
to logon to the net and go read my E-mail, using ssh, pine and lynx!
It should be possible to duplicate this setup with other Braille display
models or other PDAs."
