- Having a FULLTALK software will solve your problem at work since you
- have a PC but no TTY. Fulltalk modem can be put next to a 2400 baud
- modem, which you are using for computer communication. I have both
- FULLTALK (which switches between 300 & 45.5 baud) and normal 2400 baud
- in my PC and work along fine. It only costs 275.00 plus 5.00 for shipping
- Let me know if u are interested. Ask your employer if it can be paid
- by the company for you.
