	One of our faculty here in New York wants to communicate with
his deaf parents in New Zealand.  They have some sort of modem-and-TTY
device, but we are unsure how to connect to it with the equipment we
have here.  Obviously, it would require an international phone call.

	I know that a similar service exists in the US (TDD, I think
they call it) but I don't know much about it.  Are the modems used
compatable with any of the common data modems (v.22/bis, 212A, or
103J)?  Is the system used in NZ the same as the system used in the
USA?
