The Bluetooth part in the above sentence looks like an error. Besides, I am not a Baum Vario user, but if I were and would use my serial interface, I'd not like to loose the ability to use compatibility modes. What about coupling the above approach with a boolean braille driver parameter that would still allow a user to enable probing of compatibility modes even if a serial interface is used? -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
