Speaking as someone who once worked for an ISP that ran shell accounts
with a number of blind users, much of this can sum down to
something pretty simple.
Make sure your web pages are usable in lynx. If the page looks fine
in lynx and the terminal software renders the link in bold or
reverse upon moving to the link (required by certain text-to-speech
software), then you'll mostly be fine.
It also gives you a viable alternative the next time Netscape or IE
is the target of the exploit du-jour and you need to grab a copy
of your software from somewhere else.
