How to make brltty start at boot?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,


To the curious individual who wonders why I'd want to start brltty at 
boot without a connected display, the answer is simple. The script I use 
to start my Windows VM looks for brltty, and if not found will not start 
Windows. Yes, I know it's a pain, but rather that then not be able to do 
my job.


Warm regards,
