[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

I just learned that you are the modernator for SilentTalk...

I was thinking real hard about these expensive long distance
calls ( Such as TDD to TDD)

Why dont we form a Steering committee and do alot of
research as follows!

1. Get Deafies to get computers, 38,400 Baud modems,
FrontDoor, Tosscan or Binkley  and a communication
software such as Procomm.

2. Create our own Nodelist

3. Manuals and Instructions on Installation of these
softwares above.

4. Train careful picked candiates for HUBS, REC, NC , ETC

5. Zones to be created for all parts of North America

6. NetMail can be used direct .

7. CM is a must

8. Create all sorts of echoes such like Education, Legal,
Organization Feedbacks, Announcements, Bullentins, Consumers
Advisory, Etc.

9. Only Old Pharts can be NC, REC, Hubs, etc and must have
the ability of assisting newbies and train them how to use
the Network and Netmailing.

10. All handpicked Old Pharts from each zone should meet
togother , do alot of brain storming, how to set up the
network and can do the most effectively work.ETc

11. I am convinced that we can beat these expensive Long
Distance calls. Once a deaf user send a message to his/her
friends or relatives as a letter  with higher Baud Speed
like USROBITICS Dual Standard Modems will save at least 97
percent of long distance calls .

Any Comments ?
