By sending and receiving letters using ordinary phone lines it was possible to use telephone by people with hearing or speaking impaired. The only problem was the size of the teletype unit, which, when it was invented, had size of an average table. Although Minicom is not strictly a terminal, it's a teletype adaptor which allows hearing impaired people to use phone line by typing and reading messages.

When not connected to telephone line, an acoustic coupling device may be used with typical phone handset. The unit can be powered with a 9V DC power supply unit or with 6 AA batteries. If someone cannot communicate at all, e.g. not using another teletype, a message about teletype call can be broadcasted from the terminal to inform the other side of line about it Features: * Mains or battery operated * Direct connection to BT type socket or acoustic connection to telephone * Display - one line of 20 characters * Fluorescent display - 6mm letter height * Auto ID - tells the person called that call is from a text phone * Voice announcer tells caller that they have reached a text phone * Text message answerphone * Flashing incoming call indicator * REN value 1 GRAB A BARGAIN!
