- This driver allows to use any tty as peripheral for BrlTTY. There are many ways
- to use it.
-
- By ssh-ing from another machine
- -------------------------------
-
- ssh from machB to machA, and give the current tty as device to brltty:
-
- samy@machB$ ssh machA
- samy@machA$ su -
- Password:
- root@machA# brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=$TERM -n
-
- By using an Xterm
- -----------------
-
- Just give the tty used by the xterm to brltty.
-
- $ su -
- Password:
- # brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=$TERM -n
-
- By using a real tty
- -------------------
-
- Just give the serial port on which it is connected to brltty:
-
- # brltty -b tt -d /dev/ttyS0 -B term=ampex232,baud=19200,charset=IBM850,locale=fr_FR.IBM850
-
- I here had to precise the type of terminal (I have an Ampex232, see somewhere
- like /usr/share/terminfo for your own's.
-
- I also had to tell that it uses the IBM850 codepage table. And I hence also
- had to tell to use a special locale: fr_FR.IBM850, since I want french,
- with IBM850 charset. I had to generate since by hand by adding
- fr_FR.IBM850 IBM850
- to my /etc/locale.gen, and then relaunch locale-gen
-

- Notes
- -----
-
- Another machine connected by a null-modem can be used as a tty: just run
- minicom on it, and use vt100 as type of terminal.
-
- If a BrlAPI application writes dots (Gnopernicus for instance) you won't
- get the text.
-
- See help.txt (or press F1) to get help on key bindings
- Default configuration should be fine, but if not, get sure to use 8-dot text
- style and not to show attributes in the configuration menu (F4).
