[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

 JR> The Illinois Relay (provided by AT&T) has a Deaf person who is
 JR> an Outreach manager.

So does Pennsylvania Relay (AT&T also).  I think they make a point
of doing that for more effective outreach.

I'm currently collecting information on the relay services in the
various states, and will post the findings here when I have enough
data to make it worthwhile.

Of particular interest is how the different relay services deal
with calls across state lines.  This seems to vary from anything
goes in some states to absolute prohibition in others, with lots
of quirks in between.  Sometimes it depends on which CA picks up
your call to the relay service :-)

Any details that SilentTalkers can furnish on the relay service in
their home state will be appreciated.   Post it here in SilentTalk.
