Hi,

I remember a DOS program which did just that.  It was by Blazie at the 
time and I think was called brlkbd.com or similar.  If the program 
you're thinking of runs on Linux, this isn't it.  I did use the DOS 
program for experimenting and such but never found any practical use for 
it.  I don't have any links but you can of course try Google.  I think 
it was on the Blazie BBS or another BBS dealing in accessible software 
because that's where I would've got it.  You could also check simtel.net 
which has many old accessible packages and demos.  If anyone has 
brlkbd.com or whatever it was called, I'm willing to host it on my 
accessible demos directory.

Sorry this isn't any kind of definitive answer.  I certainly don't know 
of a Linux equivalent.
