Message-ID: <763@sdcc12.ucsd.EDU> Date: Wed, 7-Jan-87 22:25:15 EST Article-I.D.: sdcc12.763 Posted: Wed Jan 7 22:25:15 1987 Date-Received: Thu, 8-Jan-87 04:47:33 EST Distribution: na Organization: Electronic Cottage, San Diego Lines: 13 Keywords: TDD deaf 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.
