voiceover and unix/linux

[david poehlman]

You can run pine, lynx, sirc and a whole host of other apps and utilities. 
apple downloads is full of them.  You can telnet into osx with ssh and it's 
got a ready made set of shells right out of the box.  You can use the 
terminal application on the mac its self but the interface with VoiceOver 
needs some work.  I don't know that you can boot directly into the command 
line though.

In the original post I was fishing for some possibility of using the
underlying os more directly then doing a linux dual boot approach.  It's my
understanding that the os is in the unix/linux family, the "bst" term comes
to mind as a unix/linux workalike as the mac os being used.  If it is so
related, can pine and lynx etc. be compiled and used instead of doing a
dual boot linux thing? Further, what speech approach might be possible?  I
ask again about doing dosemu in either case, will dos talk to the mac
hardware?

Thanks
