Vincent, I am still managing a duel server environment Novell and Windows. Novell has been pretty easy. The Windows based management component called nwadmin is mostly speech friendly. A bit of mouse/jaws cursor may be needed ocassionally. I also have to access the server screens itself and that I do with a remote console session using vocal-eyes and a hardware synthesizer. The only times I've needed sighted assistance is for serious issues where the boot process would halt prior to the ability to login. Then I have to have sighted help at the server itself. I believe there's a way which I never bothered to try, where you could load a dos screen reader on the server itself and it may indeed function properly after the operating system is loaded. It's basically a dos machine. We're using Novell 5.1. Not sure what has changed in later versions. While Novell servers can be tough to get optimized, once their up, they rarely need to be rebooted. Think I last rebooted ours last October sometime.

Could someone please explain how accessible working in a novell environment is from a blind administrator's point of view? My employer is considering putting me in a project where novel and zenworks administration needed to be done. Hope someone can shed a bit of light on this.
