   Oh Boy Oh Boy! What an accurate statement! For this reason,
I'm making a TTY with both modem AND TTY capability in it. The
problem is that the guy making it is very busy at work and will
get around to it in his holidays. It is very simple, and should
be quite cheap. Compromises of a monitor and IBM style keyboard,
and an external serial port. Computer is inside monitor and runs
off monitor power. When its finished, I'm thinking of sending
some units out to some of you over in America for testing. See
what you think.

   BUT! I NEEEEEEEEED THE AMERICAN SPECIFICATIONS FOR THEIR WEIRD
TTY STANDARDS! PLEASE SOMEONE, TELL ME THE BAUD RATE, THE
FREQUENCIES AND THE DB LEVELS, ETC ETC! FULL TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS! Both American and International specifications
please, but clearly define which is which! Now, is Ron up to the
challenge? (heh heh)

   Also, any people interested in being a demo'er? It wont be
for quite a while yet, since its gotta be made, by him, and
programmed by me! And no, I'm not that bad a programmer!
