braille terminal

[John J. Boyer]

Brian,

The Braille lite will accept infut through its serial port, write it to 
a file and simultaneousby display it. You can read ady of the imput , 
and if you make the file big, it'll be a while before you have to emfty 
it. Used Braille Lites are quite inexpensive.
