[Athen] Question about the Telex Scholar Plus

[Kelmer, Susan M.]

Wish I could help.  Our Telex Scholars were POS's that we dumped as soon
as they broke (within 60 days of purchase).  Worst piece of adaptive
technology I've ever had my hands on.  We had trouble with them being
able to read RFBD daisy books, most of our students brought the units
back and asked for something different.  They hated them too.
