In order to enhance the communication capabilities of my
Unisys (IBM compatible) workstation, I am wondering if
anyone out there has succeeded in using either PROCOMM
or KERMIT to talk to (ASCII) TTY/TDD users.

Several questions come into mind:

	1. In PROCOMM, there is a CHAT MODE which splits
	the screen in two (unequal) halves. Can this be
        used?

	2. What are the necessary parameters to set for
	my HAYES (RACAL VIDAC V1223) modem? Also what
	are the parameters to set for the number to be
	dialled?

	3. Can KERMIT also be used? It is evident, not
	from experience but I intend to do so, that both
	PROCOMM and KERMIT can be used to talk to another
	PC.

	4. What are the necessary steps for a TTY/TDD user
	to call my PC?

Any references to publications etc would also be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks a lot
