Hi all, Can anyone speak on whether the supposed integration of Narrator with the installation/setup/PE process will also extend to server operating systems? Nothing about said integration was mentioned in the blog post, though you would think that something could be done about it ... if one side of an interface is accessible, then all sides of it ought to be.

Update on Finding an Intruder
by Steve Matzura 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Still haven't found it, but I do have more informatioin on the hardware on the network there. The cable modem is an ancient Scientific Atlanta (now Cisco) DPC2100. The copyright on the manual is 2003, so it's got to be old. I'm thinking of having it replaced with an ARRIS SB6141. Does anyone know anything about this one, such as, can it be re-flashed with third-party firmware? The router is another oldie, the Linksys E2500. The Wireshark output is just horrendous. I'm still trying to process it all.

Wireshark
by Steve Matzura 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I have a friend with a big problem. Something is eating his network alive. Could be a computer, could be the modem, in which case a re-flash of firmware will fix it. All his computers are virus- and badware-free, according to up-to-date installations of antivirus and all kinds of anti-badware softwares. Meantime, I thought I'd see what Wireshark is like with a screenreader, test it locally, get my friend to install it, Tandem into that machine, run it, and see what's what. FORGETABOUTIT! Using the JAWS cursor doesn't do much, not even with the OCR feature. There are some tabbable dialogs, or screens that act like they're dialogs, but to kick the thing started, I just cannot seem to get it to start listening and collecting packets and doing its thing with them. I remember using this tool way back when it was EtherNim and thought it was pretty accessible. But that was more than a decade-and-a-half ago, and times (and obviously software) have changed. Anyone got any accessibility hacks for Wireshark, or can recommend another tool that runs on anything--Windows, OS X, some Linux--heck, I'd even run it on a Raspberry Pi if it's accessible!!--that will do the same thing? Thanks in advance.

accessible PBX?
by Mobeen Iqbal 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Hello Everyone. I've spent the weekend tearing my hair out with free PBX. For some reason, I can't seem to get my dial plans right or to be able to make outgoing calls, probably because of the way I've entered something in the interface. Does anyone have any idea which system I could use as an alternative? I want something that's easy to administer, that isn't going to take hours and hours to set up and that essentially works without too much head scratching to work out where you've gone wrong, editing endless config files etc. If it could run on a raspberry Pi, all the better as I have a few lying around. I hope someone can shed some light. Cheers, Mo.

commandline administration
by Ryan Shugart 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Hello everyone: While the topics of commandlines and administration was still on everyone's mind, I wanted to throw a question out there. For those who primarily use the commandline for administration, be it Bash, Powershell, whatever, if you could wave a magic wand and have anything you wanted in a commandline interface, what would it be? In otherwords, what could someone do to make your commandline experience even better than it is today? For those of you who are primarily using the GUI for administration, what would make you shift more to the CLI? Thanks.
