[nabs-l] connecting to the internet service on a braille note

[Sarah]

Hello,

Once you have the card, you go to the Connectivity menu and go to 
create a new dial-up or lan connection and choose Wireless from 
the options.  If you know the Wep key it's very easy.  It should 
be about 16 digits.

Subject: [nabs-l] connecting to the internet service on a braille 
note

Hi all,
Now that I have some time coming up as the semester winds down, I 
want to investigate connecting my braille note to the internet!

I am considering getting wireless connectivity for my braille 
note; its an empower, but I heard it still will connect 
wirelessly but may be a little slower.
What has been your experience connecting wirelessly? I guess I 
will call humanware to inquire how to set it up because I do not 
know which wireless card I need.  I read the user manual, but its 
not too specific.  How was the setup process? Was it easy once 
you got the wireless card? To connect to a wireless router, do 
you simply go to connectivity under options menu and choose the 
wireless ethernet option and then it scans for a spot? I’m 
thinking this is beneficial in wi-fi hotspot areas such as cafes, 
Starbucks and hotels.
Also, which websites work best on a braille note? I imagine it 
cannot handle sites with lots of graphics and frames.  Will it 
handle text based sites best? Some sites offer a text only site 
and I would think it would work better on a text site or mobile 
site.
Thanks for any feedback!
Ashley
