Matt, I am fortunate to have an Apex notetaker which I use to 
call the roll on a couple of nets.  Of course that allows for 
easy modification to the roster when folks are added or deleted.  
I just turn off the speech and use the thumb keys to go through 
the roster reading the pre-amble, roll call and conclusion to the 
net.  Of course I realize that not everyone has a notetaker or 
braille display, in which case the Perkins is a must.  73, Jim

Yes, the good ol' Perkins Brailler's the best thing if you're not
near a computer.  Will probably use that tonight, since our
repeater's now on EchoLink, and there probably will be more on 
the
net.--Matt, N1IBB.

Linda,
Don't mean to be nasty, but best way is a good old perkins 
braillewriter
and some paper.
Just put each call on a new line then any further comments like 
listed
traffic.
If you have to go to another line for a particular checkin, 
indent the
further lines.

That would be a real pain to do on a computer unless you have a 
braille
display, although I'm sure folks do it.
