Hello everyone,
Does someone know about some accessible irc client (except for Miranda)?
I got some portable clients, but I'm testing them if they can be used.
And allso do you know about some remote administration tool?
I installed ultra wnc (or vnc?), but it isn't accessible at all - with windoweyes.
ofcourse I'm looking for free software.
I'm using windoweyes and NVDA.

Most remote administration tools do not work at all with a screen reader because they use an image of the other computer's screen that you click with your mouse, so a screen reader can't get to the controls. And try some of the IRC clients like Mirc4Life (www.irc4life.net).

tx with irc.
And what about remote admin tools, which can be accessed from web brovser? Logmein? maybe, I'll test it.
Does someone have any experience?

For IRC, try Talk to Me Meow.

Some remote administration tools will let you hear the sounds from the computer you're connected to. So if the person you're helping has jaws, you're in luck. Netop is one such tool. It's not free, but you can find a key for it if you know where to look. System Access and the System Access mobile network will let you connect to a remote computer on its network.

I don't want to help anybody, I want to control my desktop with my laptop - for example from school. I know - SSH would be great, but I don't want to install linux.
