[bcab] Re: pacmate query

Hi Brian
I am  guessing now  but I think the issue in respect of UK is that
in the US  they tend to use  bauddot but over here  we need v21 
for an  easy  connection for a textphone.

The aim  is to be able to make, and receive a telephone call in text.
This is not same as  sending a text message.

Here is  an  example  of how  I use  a versa Braille (such a machine is no
longer on sale)

If I want ed  to phone say RNIB on 08457023153 I would type on the
 Versa Braille the following:

 d1800108457023153 and then (press return)

 the character  d tells the modem to dial.
The code 18001  routes call  into  BT  TextDirect.
I now  read (in  Braille)  on the  versa Braille the following:
 "connected txd dialling txd ringing operator connected pls wait"
  
Txd  means TextDirect.
In the example I have  given  once the operator is online  he or she
will now relay  to me  (by typing  to me) what the hearing person says.
I type  back  my  reply, and the operator reads it to the hearing person.

So this is  the sort of  thing I want  pacmate to be able to do in
a similar way to  the versa  barilla.
My versa Braille is more than 20  years o ld and well, is on its  last
feet,  soon may   fail  completely, so  urgent need to  find a replacement,
and I thought pacmate would be that  replacement.
Regards,
Derek
