Richard,
	About two years ago, before I got up my own HF antenna, I played
around with N8AD's remote link through Echolink.  Its owner, Len, was
extremely helpful in figuring out accessibility.  Quite understandably,
he wanted to make sure I could really use the software accurately to
navigate within band limits, before giving me "transmit" privileges, but
eventually, that was possible.  We used version 2 of EasyPad software,
which worked reasonably well with JAWS.  I vaguely remember that were a
few places where I had to use the JAWS cursor to get to things, but, all
in all, I was able to elicit voice readout of the frequency, mode, et
cetera, and do pretty well with it.

Subject: remote base


Hello;
Handihams is working on a remote base which at some point down the road
may 
be available for some folks to use for uhf work if they can't get up an 
antenna.  I believe there are a few other sites that offer this service
for 
amateurs in general in the u s.  Has anyone investigated or tried them? 
Since the interphase wasn't made with screen readers in mind anyone know
how 
usable any of these things are?
Richard
