[nfbcs] looking for CS mentor

[John G. Heim]

I used to use a program called OpenSsh for Windows. I wrote a jaws 
script for it that did things like silenced jaws when you were typing in 
a password.  But I lost the script because I switched to linux full 
time. I figured I'd never need the jaws script again.  Maybe somebody on 
this list made a copy of it.

I never found jaws scripts for putty that worked. In order to use jaws 
effectively, you might need to learn how to write scripts for it.  The 
part of my openssh script that silenced jaws when you were typing in a 
password would work for putty.  You could start with my openssh script 
(if you can find it) but you'd have to adapt it for putty.

You might consider using linux when you need to do something via ssh. 
Linux is way, way better at working with other linux machines than 
Windows is. Learning to use linux is something you will not regret if 
you are going to major in Comp Sci.

I've Googled keywords and found some information, but I wasn't sure how current it was.  I figured JAWS 14 may have some enhancements for working in Putty that earlier versions did not.  My professor said I can use another program comparable to it, so if you all know of one that is more accessible, let me know.

If so, how do I get in contact?  Or, do you know of CS organizations for Disabled or blind that give feedback on accessibility issues.  I don't want to bombard this list with questions.
