hi I don't mind helping you in the slightest. My main problem is that every time I think I have it, something messes up and I have to go back to the drawing board. I'm determined to fix this if at all possible. Brltty is a fantastic software project and it needs more attention from the open source community than it gets. Just as a curiosity, would it be possible to configure brltty to listen on both usb, serial and bluetooth simultaneously for braille displays, that way a person can simply hook up their display and have it work, or does it automatically do that? If I can manage to get it speaking, I'll share my steps on this list so everyone can benefit. Thanks Kendell Clark
