Several folks here are doing just that - the TTY comes to life at
intervals and prints out the News (as %Deity intended it to be printed)
and then shuts itself off until the next batch is ready.

any more of the Dovetrons are left. This was a
quantity purchase from the Gov't Surplus program
that George and Glen Galati
