I think we will see that over time, Stu.  Not force, actually, but
robust encouragement :-)  TDI Inc. advocates a phase-out of Baudot
over the next 5 years.  But it will die very slowly and painfully.

The price of the ASCII option on some TDDs is a real ripoff!  As is
the price of dual code 300 baud modems.
