Thanks for providing this TDD listing for us, Doug.  However, I can't 
see where many TDD users would call LD since they are only 300 bps. 
I remember when I first called the HEX BBS when I got my first TDD 
and my phone bill was a bit high... Also, it's a bit hard to keep
up unless one has a 24-26 line monitor instead of a 1 line display
screen, even though a printer may be in use, it's still hard to
keep up
 
I would love to see more software TDD compatible (hint hint hint). 
(grin)  It would be nice if TDD users could call the local BBS's 

in their area and join us in some of the echoes
 
I don't mean to sound negative but so many of those with hearing
impairments have watched my BBS and they've complained about the 
speed being too fast for them to keep up with.  I've tried to explain 
that once one gets used to a BBS, they learn to read FAST!!!
 
Comments from anyone else????
