 JE> Are TDD's cheaper or more expensive that a modem?

The answer, Jim, is yes.  TDDs are cheaper or more expensive than
modems.  Or maybe modems are cheaper or more expensive than TDDs.
Actually, TDD prices fall entirely within the range of modem prices.

 JE> With all the bulletin boards and such, I would think that the
 JE> TDD machines would all be replaced by computers and modems soon.

Someday, Jim, but not real soon.  There are a lot of TDDs out there.
And many are used by members of the Deaf Culture.  No group is more
resistant to change and progress than Deaf Culture.

... Huh?
