When Occasionally Visiting a Mac

When I access Linux, I have been using an old P.C. with
DOS, a screen reader and kermit which even today works nicely
and gets me on to Debian as well as any other form of unix
including Sunos and FreeBSD.
On rare occasions, I need to visit Mac's and use the
Voiceover system. It seems to do well enough at reading a
screen and speaking links, for instance, but if I telnet or ssh
in to a unix system, I appear to have to manually review the
screen to hear prompts or messages that pop up.
Since I don't own a Mac or use one on a daily basis,
this may be a dumb question, but is there a setting in Voiceover
that will echo new data as they come in? That was the thing I
immediately missed the first time I tried a Macintosh with
Voiceover.
Many thanks.
