Braillenote PK and Linux

[Chris Norman]

I'll second that, I just tried to install Fedora using a BrailleNote as a 
KeyNote PC, and although it came up with no errors, there was no speach, and 
no braille worked either, just thought it would be worth a try, but nothing 
was coming out of the serial port.

Cheers,

Chris Norman.
