If I could add to this.
What I think he's driving at is he uses the windows box as his main terminal
or interface. JFW or another reader virbalizes the output from programs
like putty or secure crt which you would use to then connect to the unix
machine. You would have the TTS output from JFW on your windows desktop but
your actually say working on a machine in another room, or state or country.
Does that make sense?

Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] what is system administrator need
I am not sure if there is a single answer to your question. But I got a BS
degree in computer science and taught myself about linux. So I am a linux
systems administrator. I know only slightly more about Windows than a
typical power user.
I think it's questionable whether it's better to concentrate on Windows or
linux. I believe there are way, way more Windows systems administrators
than
linux systems administrators. But there is also a lot more competition for
those jobs. The one advantage to linux is that it's designed to be
administered remotely via a text console. There are very few things that
cannot be configured at the command line or via text files. That's a huge
advantage for a blind systems administrator.
On the other hand, the screen readers are better for Windows. I don't
think
there exists a commercial screen reader for linux. Jaws and Window-eyes
are
very expensive but they are also very good. There is a rock solid screen
reader for the linux command line called speakup. But it works only in
text
mode. For the graphical user interface, there is a screen reader called
orca
with is really getting to ve excellent. But it's not as good as jaws. Not
yet.
What I do is use Windows as my desktop to admin linux machines.
