[nfbcs] Terminal emulator takes down Jaws

[Steve Jacobson]

Tracy,

You have received some good suggestions already.  I was also going to see if
you could recreate the problem with NVDA running even if NVDA does not work
well enough in this context.  You also might check which character sets are
available to be displayed, and see if changing the character set helps.
Finally, JAWS has some settings that determine how long a program is
unresponsive before it restarts itself.  I would have to dig to find the
documentation I have on this, but extending or eliminating the wait period
could help if the host system is slow.  Your terminal emulator may be acting
as though it is not responding when the host is busy.  This seems unlikely,
but perhaps turning off this feature for your emulator would still be worth
it.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Subject: [nfbcs] Terminal emulator takes down Jaws

This may be too esoteric, but here goes.

I'm trying to use the same terminal emulator as my colleagues, and mostly it
works OK.  The only problem is, when I log into or out of TSO, Jaws crashes.
Sometimes it restarts itself, and sometimes I have to manually restart.  The
only thing I can think of is that the mainframe is executing a few commands
automatically, and the screen may change rapidly a few times.  I tried using
insert-s to change speech to none, but it didn't help.

Any ideas?  

Tracy
