I don't work for the feds so it won't help me much but I know people who
do.:) I'd love to see the government threaten to stop buying Cisco for 1
day, that would put this whole thing to rest once and for all. I'm hopeful
though, the sited folks don't like the state of things either so hopefully
they will redesign a lot of this stuff for the whole market, that's much
more likely.

I dealt with Section 508 for ALVA Access Group and also worked for the
Federal Government in IT and the early stages of 508 Regulations. Feel free
to e-mail me off list and I can send the regulations forward to help with
this issue.
This relates to Federal Agencies using the equipment and not the public
workforce. I can tell you that much.
I will be going on vacation till 10/13/09 so it will take awhile if I don't
hear from any one privately.
I can be reached at christophermcmillan@hotmail.com or work e-mail at
chrismcmillan@ceektech.com.

Hi,
Emphatically yes i am seeing the same thing. I have a Linksys WRT54g2 router
and I can not use the java download page the dropdown box like thing,
emphasis on, is not jfw friendly at all. This to me is unacceptable. I've
emailed them feedback but have heard nothing. I really want to get the
latest firmware as i'm hoping that that will make a linux upgrade easier.
And the law i believe is called Section 508, I think it says
something and this is a paraphrase: to market to the government products and
services which i suppose sites would be in that group must be accessible to
persons with disabilities.
Hth
Dave.

Hi all,
I know this has come up in some forms before but has anyone else noticed how
unfriendly to screen readers Cisco's web site and products are becoming? I
just tried to download the latest windows VPN client and got lost in a java
based download manager that had absolutely no output recognizable to JFW.
This sucks! In fact, WTF! I guess this makes my decision to suggest that my
company migrate over to Juniper even easier. Isn't there some federal
accessibility standard or some such in place that Cisco has to conform to in
order to market the US government? Can't some pressure be applied from that
angle?
Thanks
Scott
