[nfbcs] Accessible UNIX / LINUX Help Request

[Mike Sedmak via nfbcs]

I am currently using teraterm-4.80 (open source) with NVDA.  
The project web site is here:
http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/

It looks like they are up to version 4.82, but 4.80 is the version I can
vouch for.

If you are using JAWS, google for  "teraterm JAWS" there are several results
with recommended jaws scripts to improve reading of text as it scrolls.

Also, I used the recommended settings tweaks from this site (refers to an
old version of teraterm but the mods worked for me):
https://sdfeu.org/w/tutorials:sdf-blind
Look for the heading " Configuring UTF-8 Tera Term for best JAWS
accessibility"
