My Project
by chris hallsworth 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hello all, I'm a university student, and I have finished all my coursework for my computing course. I am therefore writing to offer you a copy of my project report. As you will see the project is based on a technical support system I plan to set up in the future, using JAWS Tandem to remotely assist somebody in using a computer. If any of you would like a copy, please let me know off list, so I can possibly attach it or upload it somewhere. Note it's 23 pages in length, and it's in Microsoft Word 2007 format. I can, however, convert it if required. Thanks, and I look forward to any offers. From Chris -- Mr Technician E-mail and Facebook: christopherh40(a)googlemail.com MSN: ch9675(a)hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Twitter: http://twitter.com/christopherh40

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Any Accessible Way to do Cisco Router Simulation

GNS3 is supposed to be a great tool for this. -----Original Message----- From: Nehemiah Hall <nrh_lists(a)n-republic.net> Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 1:34 PM To: Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Any Accessible Way to do Cisco Router Simulation I fear I know the answer to this, but I'd rather not assume. I'm working on my CCNA course, and am curious if there's any way at all to do router simulations of any sort without having a physical device. While I can use the devices at where I'm taking the class, there are times I want to try something without having to wait to go in and use them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

inaccessible stuff
by John G. Heim 07 May '10

07 May '10

All, I am President of an organization called the International Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. One function of the group is to work with technology vendors to advise them on how their products could be made more accessible. I am currently seeking volunteers to help generate a list of companies to contact and to compile a list of accessibility issues with those products. I am interested in the products which most impact your ability to perform your job and the accessibility issues with those products. I would like to have specific details about the accessibility problems so that I can mention them when contacting the manufacturers. I'm assuming I will not personally have used many of the products other technologists are struggling with so I am seeking both comments about accessibility problems as well as volunteers to serve as technical resources about the products. Please send your comments to me at jheim(a)math.wisc.edu.

Imaging Windows 7
by Barry Toner 06 May '10

06 May '10

Folks, What are you either in work or at home imaging your win 7 boxes with? That you can restore, I know I know, that's always the killer, without sighted help. I was using True Image for XP back when, but have found it very crashy under Win 7 and accessibility appears to be broke in it's latest version. The Windows 7 backup tool, despite having an Imager scares me. I'm not sure if it's a true sys image, and also it's throwing all sorts of annoying errors up here when I point it to a backup drive I have in a USB hub. So I'm looking a backup tool that will do Images, and if I have access to the OS will let me log in, and run the backup, it reboots and comes back up after a period with a re-imaged screen. True Image would do this and do it very nicely. Thanks, Barry.

ACLS on Cisco routers
by Andrew Hodgson 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hi all, Have any of you seen performance degradation when using a large access list on a Cisco router (actually layer 3 managed switch)? I am getting connection dropouts under high load to various database servers in a VLAN managed by these ACLs, and want to discount this. Thanks. Andrew.
