The Department of Applied Science and Engineering (ASE) at the Alfred
I. duPont Institute and The University of Delaware is pleased to make
available to the public via anonymous FTP freeware developed by the
Technology Assessment Program (TAP) at the Gallaudet Research
Institute, Washington, DC.  This program, called ASCII-TDD, was
designed to make it easy for people with IBM-compatible computers and
Hayes compatible modems to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing
people by telephone using ASCII code.

This program will only communicate with TDD's using ASCII code; it will
not communicate with TDD's using Baudot code.

The TAP has set up a bulletin board system to answer users' questions
and provide updates of the software.  The BBS can be reached at (202)
544-3613.

All questions concering the use of ASCII-TDD should be referred to the
BBS; ASE is merely providing a public distribution point for this
software.

ASCII-TDD is available in both compressed (PKZIP) and uncompressed
formats.  To download the software using anonymous FTP, use the
following commands from your prompt...
