[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Compatibility Problem with Artic Vision Board

pottle@theory.tn.cornell.edu (Chris Pottle) (12/04/90)

I am working with a blind student at St. Vincent's College in Latrobe, PA.
We have fixed him up with an old AT&T 6300(?) (Olivetti PC clone) and an
Artic Vision board, a voice synthesizer which speaks what's on the screen.
This setup is designed to work with WordPerfect, and it does. Our problem
is that the student now needs to connect his PC with a mainframe using a
terminal emulator, again having the "terminal" speak what the mainframe is
sending. The people at St. Vincent's have tried a couple of popular terminal
emulators, none of which behave properly.

My Question: Have any of you encountered this situation and can suggest a
solution? Also, is there another newsgroup more appropriate for this
question?
