[misc.handicap] BBS/Conferences For Discussion Of Deafness

Index Number: 13822

Recently Leonard Kasday inquired about bulletin boards, teleconferences,
and so forth which had as their focus the discussion of matters related
to deafness.  I should like to mention DEAF-L, a forum on BITNET for the
discussion of questions, concerns and issues pertaining to deafness.  One
can subscribe to DEAF-L by sending the following message to LISTSERV
at SIUCVMB:

                 TELL LISTSERV AT SIUCVMB SUB DEAF-L 'YOURNAME'

where 'YOURNAME' is replaced with the person's name.  If you have any
problems subscribing to DEAF-L, send me a note (GE0013@SIUCVMB) and I will
gladly sign you up.

The Seattle Hearing Impaired BBS is TDD and ASCII accessible, and can
be reached by calling (206) 526-5020.

DEAF COMM is a BBS in the Chicago area, but at the moment I do not have
the telephone number at my finger tips.

And of course, there is the commercial DEAF-TEK BBS.

There are several BBS's that can receive TDD or ASCII calls, but I
am not sure that any of them has an exclusively "deaf" focus....
Hope this helps...
                       Virtually,

                      Roy E. Miller

             The Professor Who Never Listens,
                But Whose Eyes Hear A Lot!
