The TTY/TDD machines commo= nly found make use of different signaling systems and protocols than the mo= dem you likely have supports. You might get lucky, though.

They are given out to deaf and speech impai= red individuals, so you would qualify. I used to volunteer at one-such char= ity, running their IT systems.
