Chris,
I am enclosing some information from Microsoft about "Access
Pack" for Windows:
-------------------------------------------------------
Access Pack for Microsoft Windows
Microsoft distributes Access Pack for Microsoft Windows,
which provides people with motion or hearing disabilities
better access to
computers running Microsoft Windows. Access Pack for
Microsoft Windows contains features that:
Allow single-finger typing of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT key
combinations.
Ignore accidental keystrokes.
Adjust the rate at which a character is repeated when you
hold down a key, or turn off character repeating entirely.
Prevent extra characters if you unintentionally press a key
more than once.
Enable you to control the mouse cursor by using the
keyboard.
Enable you to control the computer keyboard and mouse by
using an alternate input device.
Provide a visual cue when the computer beeps or makes
sounds.
Access Pack for Microsoft Windows is included on the
Microsoft Windows Driver Library in the file ACCESS.EXE. If
you have a modem,
you can download Microsoft Windows Driver Library components
and application notes, including the following, from network
services:
CompuServe
GEnie
Microsoft OnLine
Microsoft Download Service (MSDL), which you can reach by
calling (206) 936-MSDL (936-6735) any time except between
1:00 A.M.

communications settings:
For this setting Specify

bulletin-board services on the Association of PC User Groups
