From the supplier: Norman Coombs, a blind history professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, employs a microcomputer and speech synthesizer to interface with the college's mainframe computer. This enables him to communicate, via electronic mail and computer conferences, with students across campus or with other teachers thousands of miles away. RIT, which hosts the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, has been a leader in developing innovative solutions to the communication problems of handicapped individuals. They were able to use microcomputers and modems, unified by the Kermit communications software package, to make their telecourses more meaningful to blind or deaf students.
