Thanks for the info, Dick.  For some reason or another, I always 
thought you had to have special software in addition to the TDD modem.
Guess I was wrong...
 
However, I just can't see paying the cost of a TDD modem so one can 
use it on a BBS along with a second line.  I feel that in time TDDs
will be obsolete and laptops used in their place.  I'm looking forward 
to seeing this because I'll take any CPU over any of my TDDs.  I've
reached a point to where I detest using my TDD as it seems such a 
hassle having to use a third party to relay messages back and forth.
I guess you can say I'm a bit spoiled as I sure enjoy the speed of 
my 2400 bps modem (hoping for a faster one soon) along with a full
screen monitor along with color.
 
I just see so many possibilities with a CPU over a TDD and want to 
show other HI folks who've never used one how much nicer it is.
Technology has improved so much and will continue to improve, so 
who knows what the future may bring us all.
 
Ha, ha - yep, I got the comments!  Thanks and I know I tend to be 
a bit opinionated...but that's ME!  (grin)
