Never had any inquiries about TTY on a partner. My experience is analog devices work properly for everything else off the aux port, or as an analog ext. Anyone have any experience with TTY on a partner? I am guessing it might not work for voicemail interface maybe, but other than that it should work, correct?

TTY? You mean teletype? A teletype machine is not an analog telephone device. It uses electrical protocols that are very different from those used in telephony.

If you are talking about TDD it's interface is just a low speed modem. Never had any experience with one on a Partner but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have plenty of postage meters on Partners and they are in the same league using analog modems.

TTY once was the abbreviation for an electromechanical teletype machine, but the term has been corrupted and conflated with the more specific term, Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD). A TDD is an analog device, and should work on any circuit that supports POTS. A TTY, in the pure form, (without a modem) works on a private circuit that uses DC pulses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_device_for_the_deaf

Funny this should come up today, I just reconnected a TDD in our FD Dispatch office this morning, it had been relocated due to office renovations and is now back in the main console.
It works fine on an IP Office Analog port. The unit we have can decode Baudot and Modem signals up to 300 Baud. Both formats are so slow you can hear the diffrent tones for the 0's and 1's.
Back in the old days we did have some TTY machines, they ran at 110 baud and we had them on leased line modems. My test setup to see if they would print was a cassete tape recorder with a recording of a previous printout. Played it to the modem and it would print on the TTY.
Both Baudot and Modem up to 300 baud are very forgiving, if the phone system port can pass voice it should also pass the data for a TDD. Some of the units used by the Deaf have couplers that you just place the phone handset on and the tones are accousticly (sp) coupled
