[Koha] Barcode scanner - keyboard wedge or not

[Waylon Robertson]

Okay.. the easy solution is to use two computers.. one client, one server. server has linux and koha.. client has win98. Use the accessability control panel.. and enable serial keys.
the hard solution is try to get linux to accept serial ports as keyboards.

the easy solution for a linux system is indeed a keyboard wedge.
