Index Number: 9072 Hi people. I just learned about a new service of interest to the Deaf/Hearing Impaired community. It is called Profiles and is a computerized listing/introduction service which is accessible by TDD or 300 baur ASCII at (201) 766-1245. Don't try calling at higher speeds because 300 baud is the upper limit just now. The system is up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The subscribers appear to come from all over the USA and with ages ranging from early 20's to mid 70's. This is the female listings of course; someone else will have to check out the male profiles :-) All the application information is online and subscription is done only after voice, TDD or postal validation. The clientele is aimed primarily at the deaf/hearing impaied just now (i.e. TDD users). But if you ask nicely I think they will let hearing computer users join as well :-) Rudy Vener Uucp: att!mtqua!rudy Internet: rudy@mtqua.att.com
