I just saw a demo of an IBM product thatlet s the deaf talk to hearies 
via a program called CommPhone. You use a modem with the software and 
it will:
 
Send or receive calls from a phone and tell you by flashing the screen 
or a lamp that the phone is ringing. A hearie's spoken words are coverted 
to print on your screen (or they type on the phone dial, I think I 
saw it both ways). Your typed message is coverted to spoken words for 
the hearie. I am to recieve a loaned copy fof the program to see if 
I like it. If yes, i will buy it. Nice IBM people. :-]
