telecom devic for deaf in linux?

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Brian:

Thinking about your question a bit further, I did a little searching.

It seems the Asterisk PBX has a poorly documented, and apparently little
used, tdd capibility. Seems it would even be possible to do baud/ot over
SIP, but that seems little tested. Probably more reliable would be a
Zaptel card, so you could wire up to a pots telephone circuit.

Try these links:

Given the lack of implementation experience the above suggests, given
that it's mostly a decade old, my surmise is that the hardware modem is
probably still the more reliable approach, unless you want to
expiriment. If you do, I do have a Digium PCI card with two fx modules
that I no longer use, and might be willing to part with. Let me know.
The card can take up to 4 modules.

PS: Yep, still kicking around here! <grin> Hope the turkey was
delicious.
