Hi Don:
Yes, it connects to the computer via a Comm port.
It is the:

Oregon Scientific WMR-968

I got it from Ambient Weather on the internet at a price of $214.00 but now
they have reduced it to $209.00.
I am using a free program called:

FreeWX-Wi

also available on the internet for free.
It works well with Window-eyes.
I hope I covered all of your questions.
Email me again if I did not get them all.
