I have a friend who uses a Versa-Brailler. I would like to
see if I could help to fix him up with a modem and terminal protocol
so that he can read and write on this conference.
I have not actually seen his Versa-Brailler. I know but little
about it. I do know that others have accessed BBS's using them.
Can the Versa-Brailler be patched to a regular computer, with
a modem on the regular computer? Is there a modem for it? (There
must be one.)
My friend says his is not the latest model. Maybe that would
give you who read this some information. Does anyone have information
that would help us? Addresses to write to?

Hi Bill!
You are in luck concerning your frined's VersaBraille needs.
I've used various models of the VersaBraille during the past several
years! I must confess that I'm using my IBM compatible to access the
echos and bs's, but the VersaBraille can definitely be used with a
modem.
It would be helpful to know which model he has. Does the machine use
cassettes or disks? You don't have to have a modem specifically
designed for the VersaBraille, but you do need the RS232 serial cable
from Telesensory Systems Inc. There are terminal programs for both the
cassette-based and disk-based VersaBrailles.
If you have additional questions, feel free to ask!
Liz
