Hi Kathleen; Are you trying to say you want the communication to go by telephone wire to another location? I think the TTY, now a days transfers over the phone wires. Now if you both want to communicate in one room, you can with a BT and an extra braille display or 2 BN machines cabled together. You could even use a computer and a BN, for that matter. If 2 deaf blind people send eachother e-mails on the BN, what is the difference between that and having this feture on the BN. It sounds like all you are doing is sending messages to each other. What is the difference? Terry Powers ,

In actual practice, the correct term used is "TDD," meaning Telecommunication Device for the Deaf. Obviously, the deaf-blind person uses braille to access the TDD. Until a few years ago, the device we used was the TeleBraille, from TSI. It utilized a T-elecommunication D-evice for the D-eaf, and a Navigator Braille Display. (Meaning the two devices were connnected by a cable.) Suffice it to say, the TeleBraille is now defunct and we need a replacement device. Hence,F.F. incororated TDD software into the Pac mate; and my dearest wish is that Humanware would do the same with the M-Power..
