As I learn more about this technology, more questions come to mind. I may not have many customers for this but I would like to understand the technology nonetheless. RadioMan and TechBill, do you work for Sorenson or other companies as VRS Interpreters, or were these calls you mentioned between...

This was about a month ago when I called a couple of times and left messages for their area Sales Rep. The client's sister also called him, apparently with no response. I decided I'd try to nail down compatibility info first before trying again.

I totally get this and support it, and certainly everyone we hire is judged solely on their ability to do the job. In this situation, we have a deaf client who's not looking for a job. He's just looking to get Internet that will support video phone capability. If we're able to do a trial for...
