Hello, I'd like to emphasize that the braille feature which is discussed about here is *not* general braille access through brltty. What is being discussed is the tiny braille support embedded in the screen package, which only supports a few TeleSensory and TSI hardware in a quite basic way, and which has not been developped or maintained for years. There is little wonder screen maintainers would rather remove that part of the code: it is unmaintained, and brltty can already access screen content another way, and is developped, maintained etc. Samuel
