Interesting!
Was that stand-alone and compatible with the ordinary TDD/TTY units?(and coupled to a
modem)Or was that solely for communicating with other 5150s?
Or was that to use the 5150 as a KSR terminal for a TDD/TTY handling thePOT
communication?

Was this to actually communicate with the true Deftones for tdd work if so I'd be real
interested in it we have a very large collection of items that are assistive for the deaf
and hard of hearing at smecc Museum and this would qualify for that so yeah tell me some
more thanks Ed
