Chat help for a blind list member?

[Kelley]

Hi, everyone--

A list member has written to us with some questions about accessing 
chat; she's blind and uses a text reader to follow the groups, but 
her text reader doesn't work in chat.

Does anyone know if you can access Yahoo chats with Microsoft Chat 
2.5?  Cheetah Chat is not accessing Yahoo chats right now (the 
programmers are apparently working on an update to address this -- 
the changes Yahoo's been making affected chat, and so Cheetah doesn't 
work with Yahoo chat now).  Perhaps there're some other similar 
programs that could be used?

Any ideas or advice are greatly appreciated!
