Yeah, its easy in linux. I am a linux systems admin and I have all my
machines configured to start the screen reader when I plug in my tripletalk.
Its one line in a configuration file. I don't know how to do it in windows.
BTW, here's the line for linux. You need to put this line into a file in
/etc/udev/rules.d/.
ATTR{product}=="Triple-Talk USB", RUN="/sbin/modprobe speakup_ltlk"

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Launch Jaws when a Braille display is connected.
Good afternoon,
I have been thinking about how to optomize my productivity and
accessibility while in server rooms.
what I would like to have available is the following:
I Plug in the Focus 40 when I'm at a server and Jaws would automatically
launch and show that I'm at the control alt delete screen.
I could press a specific command on the display to simulate control alt
and delete and I could then log in.
This would be fantastic as I'd be able to do away with the need to try to
use the network KVM's on each rack and I wouldn't have to cary both a
Braille display and a keyboard with me. The focus supports input and
output so it would be fine for troubleshooting. Of course, I'd rather have
a synthesizer speaking to me but that's not a great idea as I'm still
never sure what server the KVM is going to be on.
Any ideas?
I've heard of scripts that can monitor for certain kernel message ID's
that can then start an application however after looking at a few examples
it doesn't seem like this will be much of a viable solution as it would
need to be constantly running.
Of course Jaws doesn't natively support this kind of thing.
Interestingly, BrlTTY has had this functionality for years.
Thanks
