Hi, Michael, Boy, have you hit on a point of my interest. UNFORTUNATELY, TDD's mostly run on 5-bit baudot and are inaccessable to BBS computers. There are programs to make a personal computer "talk" in 5-bit baudot, and there are TDD's with ascII mode. So, what does this mean and where can we go from here? That depends on what you're trying to do. FidoNet has a conference called SilentTalk (I carry it on my ohter BBS at 510-827-0804) and the above HAS been discussed for the past 2 weeks. Again, what are you trying to do? Maybe I can help in some other way or at least keep giving you support. I'm HOH myself and ASL-sign the songs at our local Metropolitan Community Church. Wish I could give you more info right now. Hope to hear more from you soon. I check all my boards daily, so I'll reply quickly. sk sk
