Piggybacking on those last two replies I would like to add two more
points.
Make sure TITLE text is contextual and conveys the intended use of the
frame. Also, JAWS actually grabs NAME instead of TITLE- make sure your
names are logical.

Carlyn,
1. Set the TITLE attribute in each FRAME element
2. Set the TITLE element in HEAD of each resource pointed to by each
FRAME
element
You may also want to include a NOFRAME option to your FRAMESET.
