I have a friend who has had severe hearing loss.  She has started a
local chapter of SHHH (Self Help for the Hard of Hearing).  With her
hearing problems coordinating activities is a bear.  She has a Sanyo
MB 550 PC and was told all she needed was a MODEM and she could use the
TDD/TTY communications that many hearing impaired have.  She got a Hayes
1200 MODEM and now has been looking for software.  The companies she has
been able to contact want to sell their hardware (their own MODEM, etc.)
and software.  Is their anyone familiar with these devices and
communications  software that can advise what the best approach is?   Is
there software available for a standard MODEM?
