Check out: http://www.tech-faq.com/tty-tdd.html. 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. If your modem do= es support TTY/TDD protocols you can use cu or tip just fine. If you are in the US, there are plenty of charities than can provide you a = TTY/TDD machine free of charge. 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.
