	Telecommunications devices for the deaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) is an electronic device used for telephone communications by deaf persons and those with other hearing difficulties.
		The typical TDD or textphone is a device about the size of a small laptop computer with a QWERTY keyboard and small screen that uses light-emitting diodes or an LCD screen to display typed text electronically.
		The acoustic coupler modem was the invention of deaf physicist Robert Weitbrecht in 1964.

	Telecommunications Device for the Deaf - Computing Reference - eLook.org
		The acronym TDD is sometimes expanded as "Telecommunication Display Device" but is generally considered to be derived from "Telecommunications Device for the Deaf", although there is some disagreement on this.
		The standard most used by TDDs is reportedly a survivor of Baudot code implemented asynchronously at 45.5 or 50 baud, 1 start bit, 5 data bits, and 1.5 stop bits.
		A typical TDD is a device about the size of a small laptop computer (resembling, in fact, a circa 1983 Radio Shack Model 100 computer) with a QWERTY keyboard, and small screen (often one line high, often made of an array of LEDs).

	Morales Letter Opinion No. 98-043
		"'TDD,'" as it explains, "is an acronym for telecommunications device for the deaf.
		Such a result however, would, at least in the view of the commission, fail properly to serve the needs of those meant to be assisted by the program, because the varying types and degrees of severity of their impairment require a range of possible instruments to deal with them.
		The statute, in giving the Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing regulatory authority to determine "a reasonable price for a basic telecommunications device for the deaf" may also be read, and we think fairly be read, to give the commission authority to determine what constitutes such a device.

		Members of the hard of hearing and deaf communities are discouraged from using this service in the case of an emergency, due to the delay that may be caused in relaying the information.

	Telephone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The telephone or phone (Greek: tele = far away and phone = voice) is a telecommunications device which is used to transmit and receive sound (most commonly voice and speech) across distance.
		Such devices tend to be bulkier than cell-based mobile phones, as they require a large antenna or dish for communicating with the satellite, but do not require ground based transmitters, making them useful for communicating from remote areas and disaster zones.
		There are phones that work as a cordless phone when near their corresponding base station (and sometimes other base stations) and work as a wireless phone when in other locations but for a variety of reasons did not become popular.

		Many people use the two terms interchangeably, while others use TTY for mechanical teleprinters and TDD for the modern electronic gadgets which perform the same function in a fraction of the size and weight.
		To aid the deaf, a lamp is provided on most Weitbrecht modems and TTYs which varies in intensity when there are signals on the line, so that the ringing and busy signals are recognizable.

		I had done some >> research into TDD's in the past and if I remember correctly, the >> "protocol" (such as it is) uses something like a 5N1 (5 data bits, no >> parity 1 stop bit) at some absurdly low baud rate (75 baud comes to >> mind, but I don't remember for sure).
		To add useful functionality for the deaf user at the other end, the getty needs to respond to the detected TDD by starting a suitable application.
		Thinking about a typical M$ based office which could concevably have a Linux server for TDD and maybe other functions, you most likely need ytalk on all the work stations, so you can pass the caller around to departments like you would a voice caller.

		That should be enough to, in the meantime, if I find someone interested that has more coding capability than a turnip (which is about my level) could code something up to work as a standalone piece of software.
		FWIW, for US anyway, traditional TDD's use 45.45 baud, 5 data bits, no parity, one and a half stop bits (weird, I know), 1400Hz and 1800Hz FSK, I'm assuming, but haven't found any information to support for sure, that the 1800Hz is a 1, and 1400Hz is a 0 in the transmission.
		Most of this information, I would assume, is included in the V.18 recommendation, and probably more as the V.18 recommendation is inclusive of many of the international standards as well (50 baud rather than 45.45 baud is common from what I understand).
