I have run into quite a few people having the same problem.  In fact
I see the same need to upload and download to and from pc's with 
VersaBraille P2's as well.

The answer which I took was to write a couple of programs which will
upload and download to either BersabRailles or Braille N' Speeks.
These type of transfers can be done with modem packages also, but most
of our clients are fairly young.  So a straight foreward program which
prompts for responses has proven to be the best way of dealing with
the transfer issue.

If anyone is interested in either of these, write me and I will give
you more information.  They are a big $35.00 Canadian.
