Ian.
I'm sure there is a more sophisticated solution to the one I am about to
suggest however certainly this would solve the problem.
You could connect a visual display to the BN via the serial port and type into
keyword in grade two, enabling your coleague to read what you typed.
Additionally you could also connect a USB QWERTY keyboard, enabling him to type
into the same keyword document and you to read in grade two what he typed thus
giving you some face-to-face communication.

Subject: [access-uk] COMMUNICATION SOLUTION
I'm working very closely in my new job with a colleague who's profoundly
deaf. I don't have any BSL and I'm also not a very good lip speaker. At
present we're communicating reasonably effectively using email and text but
sometimes we need to have something that's more instantaneous. I was wondering
two things. 1. Is there a one-line text display which could be hooked up to a
Braille note? Or two, even more effectively, could the text terminal used for
minicom calls be hooked up to the BN so that I could put stuff in and it would
come out in text for him and he could use the qwerty keyboard to put stuff in
which I could then read in Braille on the display?
