[WANTED]: APPLE-2 software for DEAF-TTY connections.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking for APPLE-2 software or a BASIC program
that will connect me to a DEAF-TTY. DTTY uses the BAUDOT
character set (5-bit data words). APPLE-2 uses the ASCII
character set (8-bit data words). I need a interface be-
tween the 45.5 baud rate that BAUDOT requires and the 300/
1200 baud rate that I'm set-up with. I realize that the
"APPLE-CAT" modem accomplishes this between h/w and s/w,
but I'm trying to make due with what I have.
If anyone out there can aim me towards the software
for this (share/freeware?) or actually could port something
simple over into BASIC or ASM/HEX, that would be most ap-
preciated.
If you don't happen to have even the foggiest of what
I am speaking about, but could steer me towards other re-
sources, THAT is also most appreciated.
Please try to reach me at the following addresses; upon
failure to reach me, please post back here. In advance,
thank you for your time and effort. You may be the one to
bring friends and family closer together - please give it
a go.
Cordially,
A. DALRYMPLE sirald@cup.portal.com

A request similar to this one seems to be posted about once a month.
Unless the poster lucks up and finds a reader who has the needed software
and/or hardware, the request will simply wind up on disk (somewhere).
The most active support of handicapped/disabled people is in the Forums
on Compu$erve. There are several Forums that have different thrusts, and
there should be someone on the Disabilities Forum that can provide direction
to the right place for the needed software/hardware. I know there is an
IBM (MS-DOS) Forum that is dedicated to computer interfaces for the
disabled/handicapped, and I'm confident that there will be support for the
Apple (and other popular computers) as well.
