You have certainly made a mess of making google searches. They should flush
all your posts so anyone wanting to search your latest interest might find
rational information.

Hard to cooperate or understand when you make up acronyms
apparently out of thin air and then demand that they be defined
and explained. It is the kind of scenario that would make a good
scene on Monty Python.

If "EDTN" is really an acronym that you didn't make up yourself,
tell us where you saw it. Even better trace it back through the
context yourself. You might learn something about research
instead of asking everyone else to do it for you.

Where did you hear of your particular combination of letters? Isn't that
a good place to start if you want to track down its meaning? You seem to
have an idea that it's a kind of telephone service for people with a
particular disability. That's pretty specific. What makes you think so?

Don't believe everything you read. Baudot code was a five-bit code for a
teletype-like machine (with two modal shift characters so some keys had
three meanings). CCITT was a standards organization, now superceded. For
all I know, Baudot may have been the subject of one of their standards.

What gives you an idea that EDTN has anything to do with deafness? If it
does, it may be similar to TTY/TDD in the U.S.

It's the European Deaf Telephone (Network) that is used in a few
European countries - Germany and Switzerland for example. It uses V21
modulation, but only one channel, and runs at 110 baud.

Took me less than 5 minutes to find using a search engine - the OP
couldn't have been trying too hard.

Using *_ONLY_* information from his "Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:04:03 -0700"
post and spending approximately 10 minutes with Google I came up with 10
URL's of agencies/firms which would be able to answer ANY legitimate
question or be willing/able to "tell him where to go" [intentional
double entendre]. The majority of sources are either commercial or
governmental sites. Remainder appear to be charitable sites.

All he would probably need would be a cogent reason for asking.

Where did you find this information? Specifically, where did you find
that EDTN is “European Deaf Telephone Network”?

So, IOW, you don't know for sure that EDTN equates to “European Deaf
Telephone Network”? I was afraid that would happen.

Whenever I've asked about EDTN [in relation to TDD], anyone who does
give an answer does not seem to know whether it is 100% correct. So my
suspicion was confirmed. !#%!$

Not trying to be a nuisance but I’m going crazy because of the
difficulty in answering my question.

Anyways, I am going to read the "TTE directive" and hopefully it will
answer my question.

My grandson has (had?) Asperger's. His mother, a neatnik, did for him
everything that might be messy. When he was ten years old, She dropped
dead while preparing supper as he watched. His grandmother -- we weren't
yet married -- rushed to help pick up the pieces, and made him pancakes
for breakfast at his request. He just sat and looked at them. It turned
out that he was waiting for her to cut them up. She handed him a knife
and his education began. I first met him when she brought him to our
house a week later for a brief stay. His first act on walking through
the door was to yank my beard and announce "It's real". He had a lot of
things to learn.

He's a senior in college now, and has been living on his own for over
three years. He's learned a lot. There's hope for Radium too if he
doesn't get his pancaked cut up for him.

Checked the 1st 10 pages. Absolutely nothing about EDTN!!!!

Checked EDTN with "tte directive" below

http://www.google.com/search?as_q=EDTN+&hl=en&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=tte+directive&as_oq=&as_eq=edition&lr=lang_en&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=images

Absolutely nothing at all!!!!

I hate to be so rude and demanding but WTF is going on
here??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

WTF don’t the websites about
Telecommunications-Terminal-Equipment-Directive say
anything about
EDTN????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Before I actually did a search on "tte directive", I was extremely
optimistic and had a positive attitude that the search would tell me
what EDTN stands for [in relation to TTYs], the technical specs about
EDTN, and perhaps some EDTN numbers I could dial to listen to the
desirable tones. I was so f---------------king wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I am extremely upset and
disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

None of those sites told me what EDTN stands
for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish EDTN stood for “European Deaf Telephone Network” but it doesn’t.
My wish is way way way too good to ever be true. If EDTN stood for
“European Deaf Telephone Network”, then that would make life way too
easy!!!!!!!

If EDTN stood for “European Deaf Telephone Network”, then my search
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22European+Deaf+Telephone+Network%22&btnG=Google+Search
would have yielded the results I am looking for.

If EDTN stood for “European Deaf Telephone Network”, then my search
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22European+Deaf+Telephone+Network%22&btnG=Google+Search
would show a lot more information than just my previous posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If EDTN stood for “European Deaf Telephone Network”, then my search
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22European+Deaf+Telephone+Network%22&btnG=Google+Search
would describe how EDTN works and provide me with EDTN numbers which I
could dial so I could listen to EDTN tones from Switzerland!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, reality -- being the sick sadistic f--k it is -- decides
otherwise. Sadly, EDTN does not stand for “European Deaf Telephone
Network” when relating to textphone terminology.

So just WTF does EDTN stand for?

Also, WTF can I find EDTN phone numbers so I can dial them and listen to
those frightening-yet-enjoyable EDTN tones from
Switzerland??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!

I've never actually listened to EDTN tones but I'm 100% sure I'll enjoy
it. I've listened to American TDD tones by dialing local TDD numbers.

Dial 1-800-543-1586 and you'll hear the American TDD tones I am talking
about. This is an example of a TDD number used in the United States. I
want to hear the Swiss-equivalent of TDD.

What modulation scheme does EDTN use? FSK? QAM? Something else? What?

Why do you think that? Just because you WANT it to do that for you, doesn't
mean it MUST or WILL. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Reality is merely what it is where you recognize it. It is neither good nor

No, but I found a good reference to European Deaf Telephone (EDT).

Perhaps they are similar, or identical.

I hope you do not find any numbers. You would be an insufferable pest.

According to what I found, the Swiss use the ETN protocol of V.18. Here is
a list you might want:

€ Baudot @ 45.45 baud (U.S. TTYs)
€ Baudot @ 50 baud (used in England, Australia, and some other
countries; also known as "international" Baudot)
€ V.21/text telephone version (used in Sweden, Norway, and Finland).
€ DTMF (used in Denmark, Holland, and some other countries)
€ EDT ("European Deaf Telephone," used in Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, and several other countries)

If you would apply yourself, you could know all.......

Maybe you should look for a terminal program that is compatible with the
protocols in the list. Then you could listen to them all you wish. Just
don't come back here asking us to find it for you.

I've tried asking www.madsci.org which always rejects my EDTN questions.
I've also tried asking www.allexperts.com which often respond with "This
is out of my expertise".

After doing my own toilsome research and even asking those so-called
"experts", I am still not able to find what the EDTN acronym stands for.

This is why my posts are not so polite.

Why are you still asking this, when you now say all you want to know is the
meaning of EDTN? You have been given the essential parts to know the
answers.

Perhaps it is because you want the answer to be phrased a certain way, and
you are unwilling to see it in it's parts.

That is a poor excuse. I asked a doctor friend about AS..... It should be

I strongly doubt that. I think the answer is there somewhere [1 out of
10-the-power-10-billion places] but it is extremely difficult to find
because there aren't enough sources to make this answer readily
available. This due to the fact that I am one of the extremely small
minorities of the human population who is actually-interested in EDTN.
The majority simply don't care.

Or [and equally anger-causing for me], the EDTN is a company secret.
Those sick f--ks who make up the company that designed EDTN want to keep
EDTN classified so that no regular person knows about what it "codes"
for or how it works.

I suspect it's probably something that company is going to keep secret
from us. Sick f---scums.

Usually with protocols like EDTN -- where there isn't much info, I might
suspect that someone [or a lot of someones] is/are attempting to cover
up a type of technology.

I then get extremely curious angry and want to forcibly get information
as to how what the EDTN stands for and how it works and possible EDTN
phone numbers. I want to torture the designers -- into providing me the
information. Its only human nature to want something you know you can't
have.

I am so upset now that I want to find whoever designed EDTN and force
them [at oxy-acetylene-blowtorch point] to provide me with information
regarding what EDTN stands for [in relation to textphones], technical
specs of EDTN, and EDTN phones numbers of Switzerland. If they refuse,
I'd like to scorch their skins until they are white and foamy like the
foam produce by heating Parmasen cheese to sizzling point.

This ain't much -- if anything -- to do with AS. I was just in an
extremely bad mood.

I just contacted http://www.teletec.co.uk/minicoms/uniphone.php and they
told me EDTN does indeed stand for "European Deaf Telephone Network"

Words can't describe how releived I am!

HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!

As for those EDTN personnel [assuming they even exist] wishing to keep
their details a secret, you've lost your battle against me! I won you!
Yes, oh yes! I won! You secretive wimps are now losers!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I kicked your @$$ without even making the slightest physical contact
with you!

I am so happy now! Nothing feels more excellent than revenge! And I got
exactly that!!!!

We tried our best to keep this top-secret information away from
you. We had secret meetings to try to coordinate everyone with
the arcane knowledge, but those guys from teletec.co.uk just
wouldn't play ball. They felt sorry for you, and in the end, they
just folded under your relentless research.

The rest of the EDTN community is now suffering from over-
whelming anxiety waiting to see what you are going to do them
now that you know the truth. It wouldn't surprise me if they were
developing a replacement product that they can better keep
hidden from you.
