Yep, you sure could go online with Braille and Speak. I was there in the early days when there were just bulletin boards. Then WWW came along. Two programs were written for Braille and Speak, so it could handle the internet. The catch was you had to find an ISp that could give you a shell account and pine mail. Blazie sold Hayes copatible modems in those days. Yes, I was there online with my Braille and Speak for years. All their devices are made to go online. They have been that way since the '80's. Now I've given you more information than you wanted, right? Okay, I guess I'll move along. If you want to know more about this, you can write me directly. I shouldn't clutter up this site with Pulsedata's competition, now should I? Another thing Braille and Speak was used for was Packet Radio. How do I know? I once bought a used Braille and Speak. I was curious about what it had been used for, so I recovered the erased files. The guy had been on the air. Where does Deane Blazie work now? I think he's working on retirement in Florida, but I don't know for sure.
