[NFBCS] Linux Screen Readers

[Doug Lee]

Now I use ssh under WSL. I previously used ssh under Cygwin. The one thing I had to spend a fair amount of
time on, and sadly didn't document well enough to convey, is getting UTF-8 to work fairly well through this
setup despite Windows' being behind the times on handling that.

I believe there are some issues if you try to use OpenSSH directly under Windows without WSL, but I don't
remember well what they are. By directly, I mean running ssh from inside a cmd window.

	hello Doug.  To get full screen access using ssh from a Windows machine, which ssh
client/terminal emulator are you using?  For years, I did it using Microsoft telnet from the
DOS cmd window as one of my Windows applications, but because Jaws couldn't give me full screen
access to that terminal window, I ran Flipper, an old dos based screen reader inside that
window, which gave me perfect access to the full terminal screen.  That was my daily driver for
nearly 10 years before I ditched Windows entirely and started using Mike Gorse's Yasr every day
on all my Unix machines.  I'd probably still do that today in some circumstances if I could get
Flipper to run in a DOs window.
