 WR> Laurie, Jack, Frank, or Roy what were your impression(s)?

If I were in the market for a new TDD now, I'd probably go for
the AT&T 1310.  (They should take a look at a sturdier shipping
container tho :-)  After seeing it I decided to stick with my
Ultratec Minicom a while longer.

 WR> I'm with you on that one for sure.  But there are times when
 WR> I wish I had the convenience and features of a laptop in the
 WR> size of the TDD's as was discussed in my original post.

I'd break the piggie bank to buy that if it was available.  I was
not particularly impressed with Big Blue's offering tho.  $600
(plus the cost of the PC) so you can heve folks type atcha on a
12 button keypad?  Naaah.  If the modem was unbundled and priced
affordably, it might be interesting tho.  It's supposed to speak
both ASCII and Baudot.  Actually, Baudot is a very sick horse.
But not quite dead yet.  Give it 5 more years max.

... Live, from Beaver County, it's . . . .
