I don't htink that's what he meant. I think he meant an external USB-serial adapter. That being said, I think the real problem is that the real problem is the text displayed by the configuration script. There are at least two. It shouldn't say to select U for USB when it really means USB-serial. That may make sense to an impementor but it's not at all intuitive to a user. Also, selecting Exit when direct USB is being used isn't intuitive either to a regular user. How does he know that that means to use brltty's default, and, even if he does, why should he be expected to know what brltty's default is? If I try to put myself in the place of a really basic user I'd probably guess that Exit means to cancel the braille setup. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the Word of God.
