Does anyone know where to find info to eventually acquire videophones and telewriters? I am trying to set up an international art telecommunication event and I heard some people are already using those devices. How do I find them? Thanks, Artur Matuck

Responding to Artur Matuck's request: Common telewriter vendors: Optel Communications in New York City; DataBeam in Lexington, KY; Shure Brothers in (yes, indeed) Chicago, IL. Common videophone vendors: VideoTeleCom in Austin, TX; Compression Labs in San Jose, CA; PictureTel in the Boston area. Also, the International Teleconferencing Association is having its annual trade show in Washington DC on June 25-27. For info call ITCA at 202-833-2549. Be forewarned that "videophones" do not run on POTS lines, but telewriters do. Videophones mentioned above need digital circuits. Sandy Kyrish 320-9613@mcimail.com
