Pat, pardon my intrustion here but I'd like to share with you something 
I was able to implement while operating a fax machine.  When I was 
employed with AT&T, we often faxed work orders, equipment orders, etc. 
from office to office within the USA.  Being hearing impaired, I couldn't 
hear the beep or busy signal, so I thought..."Wonder if a TDD could 
detect the beeps or the busy signal?"  Sure enough...it could!  So, 
in order to fax messages or info, I would just take my TDD from my 
desk up to the Fax machine and hook the Fax phone to it.  Worked wonders!
So often we may not be able to do things one way but there's always 
another way around it to get the job done.
 
None of us should give up because we may not be able to do certain 
things the way others do.  I've tried to tell others that nothing is 
impossible.  Right, folks?
