You're right: one size does not fit all i.e., one program/system will not satisfy everyone's needs. There are many service models for net usage and I don't expect that L-Soft will try to satisfy each one but I would anticipate it will provide service where its technical and business opportunities dictate. BTW, there is a wealth of disability-related info via CODI using gopher at val-dor.cc.buffalo.edu. Here is the beginning of the DO-IT document with references to access the full text. Interestingly they have a web reference. -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L URL:mailto:[log in to unmask] "Kids: don't e-mail to strangers!"
