Hi, I am helping my wife set up her tech at work. They bought her a copy of openbook and want her to use a network scanner. However I see openbook doesn't let you use a network scanner. Does anyone no of any work arounds or any other programs that will let you do this. Thanks Mike

Accessible method of measuring the impact of recycling an app pool and / or restarting a service.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 27 Jan '15

Hello, Do any of you have a method of testing the impact in terms of CPU, Disk and RAM usage when restarting an IIS app pool or the W3W service / a process within this service? I need to form an argument against restarting an app pool every hour. I know why this isn't a good idea but I need to quantify it. Thanks

problems with teraterm over RDP after window-eyes 9.0 upgrade
by Iaen Cordell 21 Jan '15

sorry for the last version of this message, it was a tad rushhed. Good afternoon, since upgrading to window-eyes 9.0 I can not get teraterm to work over RDP with windows on both the remote and host computers, teraterm will not speak the Linux command prompt. if the remote is running win XP and remote windows 7 with window-eyes 9, all works well, it is only when both machines are on W7 things stop working, nothing is spoken and the mouse and window-eyes cursors say nothing. apart from using windows XP does any one have any suggestions? thanking you in advance Iaen Cordell.

How is the boot process of a CD or DVD accomplished from inside VMware Player? I've started operating systems from extracted ISO images, but never from a real hardware disk. Thanks in advance.

Packet capture tools
by Sean Murphy 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hi all. Anyone on the list who feels that they are an expert with packet captures? I have many many questions to ask. Such as extracting specific data, identifying out-of-order packets, delay, jitter, extracting only specific header info, and so on. I am using Tshark and TCPdump. The GUIO of Wireshark isn’t that friendly. Thus CLI is what I am using. Sean

Hey everyone. someone has started a petition on microsoft's own windows 10 forum to add a fully functional screen reader to windows. If the petition gets enough votes, microsoft will consider it as an addition to windows 10. Please sign in and spred it around as much as possible. If we get enough votes, there is huge possibility that we could press microsoft to actually do something about it. the link for the petition is: https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-windows-feature-suggestions/sug… -- Mario Percinic Accessibility consultant mario.percinic(a)gmail.com skype: acousticman gsm: +385922630259
