Hi Jackie, I wish they would work harder on Linksys firmware then. Their firmware for routers is getting so out of date, it's untrue.

Guys, I know this is a real pita to have to do, but I think Cisco would be interested to know this is a problem. As a recent graduate of Cisco Networking Academy, I'd say they really have worked hard w/various disability groups to make stuff accessible, & if something isn't right, I really think they'd like to know about it. Maybe yall have done that, &, if so, please accept my apology & hit the delete key. Just my $02 as a list lurker. On 9/25/09, Frank Ventura wrote:

Yup, ran into this the other day. I went through the whole site to find the link to download the firmware update to a Linksys WRV200 router only to find out that it eventually ends up in a totally inaccessible JAVA based download manager. I had to have a sited friend use that download manager for me. Anyone else figure out a workaround for this? Frank

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
