Why do you think that?  Just because you WANT it to do that for you, doesn't
mean it MUST or WILL.  If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Reality is merely what it is where you recognize it.  It is neither good nor
bad, but may be perceived as either.

No, but I found a good reference to European Deaf Telephone (EDT).

Perhaps they are similar, or identical.

I hope you do not find any numbers.  You would be an insufferable pest.

According to what I found, the Swiss use the ETN protocol of V.18.  Here is
a list you might want:

    �    Baudot @ 45.45 baud (U.S. TTYs)
    �    Baudot @ 50 baud (used in England, Australia, and some other
         countries; also known as "international" Baudot)
    �    V.21/text telephone version (used in Sweden, Norway, and Finland).
    �    DTMF (used in Denmark, Holland, and some other countries)
    �    EDT ("European Deaf Telephone," used in Germany, Austria,
         Switzerland, and several other countries)

If you would apply yourself, you could know all.......

Maybe you should look for a terminal program that is compatible with the
protocols in the list.  Then you could listen to them all you wish.  Just
don't come back here asking us to find it for you.
