A friend of mine would like to be able to contact her brother who has
a TTY connected to his phone line.  She has access to various modems
and computers to dial her bother's phone, but doesn't know if it is
possible to communicate with this piece of equipment.  I don't know
what kind of modulation/demodulation scheme is used by the TTY.  Does
anyone out there know if what she wants to do is possible or should
she simply by another TTY and do it that way?  The ability to do it
from a modem would broaden here access to him, allowing her to call
from home via a PC or work via her workstation.

E-mail of any help would be greatly appreciated.

(BTW I don't know if TTY is a brand name, reference to Teletype, or
what.  It's all she gave me for info).

Thanks,
