[nfbcs] Putty accessibility

[Tony Malykh]

I don't know if I'm going too far, but I just had another idea that
might involve no hacking. If you have access to a Linux machine, you
might want to set up google cloud client thereand then ssh to that
Linux machine and inside the ssh session do another ssh inside google
cloud. I never worked with Google cloud, but since that's Google, I
think they must have a Linux version.
And if you don't have a Linux instance at hand, you can get one in
amazon EC2 cloud for $10 a year. That's what I do, and amazon's
website is fully accessible with jaws.
