   I've never done it and am not sure about the parts but there is a 
program that you use to convert the PC's ASCII to Baudot and that uses 
the cassette port.  Ask the SysOp of your board (in the 'msg's to/from 
the SysOp area, not here) if s/he has a program called TDD54.  If not 
s/he can FREQ it from my board as  TDD54.LZH  12K.  I am running a plain 
Opus and a HST modem.  There may also be newer versions of the TDD 
program that I haven't found yet.
   The main reason that very few people use it is because no one has a 
computer with a cassette port anymore.
