John, You might be able to use the talk command over the LAN. Otherwise they can telnet to your machine and use the write command. Also, I was deaf blind and used the same system as you have described for many years, but received a cochlear implant which lets me use speech with my computer and hear people very clearly, including over the telephone. If you haven't looked into cochlear implants yet, it might be worth your while to do so. Rudy On Tue, Aug 26, 2003 at 11:32:21AM -0500, John J.
