SUMMARYThe standard communications protocol for the deaf or hard of hearing is called text telephone (TT). This protocol is based on the old baudot code (5 bit) used in the early teletype machines. Standard modems and software cannot communicate with this protocol. The new Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 will require that almost all businesses be able to accept calls from the deaf or hard of hearing. MORE INFORMATION
The product Fulltalk works in the Windows operating system and allows you
to access the TT protocol. The product comes with a proprietary modem that
auto detects between TT and standard ASCII communications. The modem can
coexist with a standard modem or fax modem. The system can handle both
international TT (50 bits per second [BPS]) and US TT (45.5 BPS). It also
receives Bell 103 ASCII (110/300 BPS) and CITT Europe ASCII (300 BPS). The
modem is a half card.
