[nfbcs] Helping a software engineer keep his job

[Mike and Jenna]

Hi,

I work in webhosting and use secureCRT with jaws on a daily basis. It works
great with a few changes. I can and do no how to use speakup so it is just
another way I have of getting things done.

Ian,

SecureCRT is an ssh client that works well with JAWS
(http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/).  It costs $70 and is well
worth it.  I also cannot get putty and JAWS to work together.

Gary,
It has been my experience that this is a more difficult thing to accomplish
than one would think.
I am too an old Sys
Admin & Analyst, and since I've lost my vision, and tried to find my way
back to the IS IT Field, it has been nothing but frustration after
frustration.

I have managed to use Command Shell Telnet on Windows machines to telnet
into my UBUNTU  boxes, but I had to install TELNET which is unsafe in orter
to do this.

I know of professionals that use Putty and JAWS  to do the same, but I
cannot get Putty working.

Correction-- Putty works fine... JAWS doesn't work well on my XP  machine
that I'm using to telnet in.

Ideally, Orca, espeak, or emacsspeak ( are all free rpm installable ) should
get the job done, but I cannot find any help to get it working.

Ian
