Brltty through USB ?

[Andor Demarteau]

well it may.
However, it depends on:
- if linux sees the convertor as a serial-device
- the port it is on never changes
- linux attatches always the same device-file to it.

So ti mroe depends on how linux precieves the convertor.
It it nicely detects it as being a serial-port, it mya work.

I've noticed the removal of the rs232 ports on laptops too.
It eeams that Toshiba and IBM do without but I think dell still has them.
