[nfbcs] Screen Reader consultant

[Steve Jacobson]

Tracy,

The idea of remote access doesn't answer your direct question, but in addition to what David has said, would it be an option to get the software you need 
installed on your computer and then access only the data from the servers?  Frankly, I am surprised that your employer has agreed to install a screen reader 
on each server, there is often resistance to doing that.  If connecting to the servers for data rather than full sessions could work, the cost of installing the 
software on your computer is probably not so expensive as to be considered a reasonable accommodation.  There could be security reasons this won't 
work, but even if you get the screen readers on multiple servers, it seems like a nightmare to maintain.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
