I'm new to the list, am not blind myself, nor have I had dealings with fully 
blind people.

I joined because my mother (in her 80s) has decided she wants a computer, but 
she's concerned about her sight.

When you said you're deaf, I immediately assumed you can see. Foolish on this 
list, I know, but it might take more than a little while to adapt my thinking 
to these circumstances.

The name brltty didn't mean anything to me either, and I misread it.

I still dont know what brltty is, or how it helps you.

Grub can be configured to use the serial port; does this help?
