Hi,

Ah.  The front page of cygwin.com only says "linux look and feel", but
any how,

Ok.

Now the remaining issue that was not answered is that TCP/IP may pose
problems with misconfigured network or firewalls.  I know he shouldn't,
but can't a user inadvertently block connexions to 127.0.0.1?  That
would make his braille output frozen (since the screen reader then
wouldn't be able to output braille), and he'd be unable to fix the
networking problem.
