Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Terminal emulators

TeraTerm is OK, but it does have its faults and foibles. If I want to do anything serious on my in-house Linux system, I log in directly through the console and use Nano with Speakup. For general everyday stuff like user or file maintenance for my FTP server, TeraTerm suffices. On 5/28/2018 2:47 PM, Jason White via Blind-sysadmins wrote:

My preferred terminal under Windows is currently the one provided by MSYS2. I think the terminal in Windows Subsystem for Linux is very good, except that I haven't worked out how to copy/paste from/into the terminal.

In both cases, ssh to remote systems works well.

I find the Mac OS terminal difficult to navigate with VoiceOver using either speech or a braille display. At a basic level, it works however.

Linux offers the best over-all experience in this regard. I've used both BRLTTY and Speakup, and I've also experimented with the new Fenrir screen reader for the Linux console. Another option that somewhat works is Gnome-Terminal with Orca.

The mac terminal is ok. I use puTTY for SSH/telnet but prefer teraterm for configuring cisco equipment via serial on windows. Never used secure CRT. Kind regards, Kieran.
