[nfbcs] looking for CS mentor

[Nicole Torcolini]

I would recommend Cygwin  instead of Putty. You might need some help
installing it, though, as the installer is not very accessible. Also, a
problem that I think is present with JAWS regardless of what command line
program you use is that JAWS is usually one character off when reading
character by character. The only real remedy that I have found for this is
to use a Braille display in conjunction with JAWS. Feel free to ping me off
list for more about JAWS, Cygwin, or other accessibility related stuff.

Hi,

I've posted to this list before and received really helpful feedback.  So
figured you could help me with another issue. 

I just started my courses at Oregon State in Computer  Science, and almost
all materials have been easy to use.  Yet, I am looking for hints in using
Putty.  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.  

I'm also looking for a mentor to talk to about CS--someone who I can contact
off list or via phone for  specific issues.  Isn't there someone at NFB who
assist in this area?  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.
You can call or e-mail me.

Thanks,
Tara
