Subject: Re: Suggestions for Deaf BBS Wanted

I would suggest using normal computer bulletin board software
and hardware with a BAUDOT/ASCII conversion unit between the
computer and the modem.

Some local amateur radio operators should be able to help you with
information about BAUDOT/ASCII conversion units.  Amateur radio
operators have been using the BAUDOT code (International Telegraph
code # 2) for years. Many of them now use microcomputers instead
of teletypewritters as BAUDOT terminals.

There are also a couple of commercial companies that sell
BAUDOT/ASCII conversion units.  I saw one several years ago
that used two conversion units BAUDOT/CW and CW/ASCII to do
BAUDOT/ASCII conversion.
