- Is that the case though, if we only want to be able to communicate
- with the deaf, but don't have anyone here that is deaf?
- We want to be able to communicate with our deaf customers (when we
- can't convince them (or they aren't able to use) talk or IRC.) We can
- go through the "utah relay operator service" but this is awkward.

- I recently asked a USR salesman about it, and he was hesitant when I
- mentioned V.18, then he muttered something about their supporting all
- official CCITT V.xx standards (where's the V.35 port???). I mentioned
- it was the deaf TTY thing and he switched from being hesitant to "Yes,
- we support that". So, when this thing (MP/16) arrives monday or
- tuesday, we'll have to see, especially in light of the several "no, it
- doesn't" comments i've seen so far.
