Hi Ross,

 Allow me to quote the letter you mailed on 29-Sep-90

 RC> Hi Jeff, Sorry it has taken me so long to reply.  I didn't forget
 RC> about you.  You were looking for TDD-TO-MODEM software.  It doesn't
 RC> exist in a software-only solution.  Mainly because everything about

 RC> dual-purpose, ie. both TDD and MODEM in one box that work with special

 RC> Intelligent Modem and allows the user to use his computer to

 I think that the now obsolete Hayes 300 bauder had that ability as well to
 act as a TDD system with a certain command. Write to or call Hayes and see
 if I'm right, I suspect I might be close with this one.

Thought I'd put my two cents worth in.

 TTFN!!!
