Questions about Mac, emacspeak and Braille

[Linux for blind general discussion]

That's cool, and I'd definitely like some help with MacPorts + brltty
that since the only resource I can find on Google is that readme you
posted a few years ago.
I'd like my Mac a lot more with brltty and emacspeak.

Thanks,
Amanda
