[comp.sys.amiga] TDD software?

dooley@helios.physics.utoronto.ca (Kevin Dooley) (08/31/89)

Can anybody out there (probably somebody at Gallaudet) tell me if
it is possible to use my Amiga and 1200 baud modem as a TDD?  I am
completely ignorant of the binary format of the information, but I
am told that it is not ASCII.  Is there software available which
can use a standard modem or do I perhaps need special hardware?  
	Many thanks,
		Kevin

Bell 212A equipment will not connect with TDD.  TDD doesn't use a carrier
and runs at about 60 baud (1 character per symbol, i think) Anyway, to 
answer bluntly... No software will get your 1200 baud modem to act like
a TDD terminal.  You might try the sound synthesizer and a sampler though.
