Stu, with an acoustic coupled TDD (like my Minicom el cheapo model)
you can use VoiceBridge if you have a second voice phone and an
RJ-11 "Y" connector to let you plug both into the jack at the same
time.  You probably could use it with a single voice phone if one
was agile enough to snatch the receiver out of the cups to talk and
stick it back in to "listen".  But I haven't tried that yet.

It sure saves a lot of keying. :-)    Jack.
