Is it possible somehow to use the typical 300 or 1200 baud modem to
link up with a TDD (telecommunications device for the deaf)??
TDD is a slow speed teletypewriter or sorts.  I just met a friend
who is deaf, and we have to communicate through a relay service,
where a third party (free of charge) reads for one and types for the
other while on the telephone.  It is kind of backward, to put it
mildly.
I tried it at various baud settings of my terminal through a PASSWORD
modem.  But although my modem said "connect", I got only garbage.
Cheers,
Bernd
