[GreenKeys] stunt boxes

[Gary L. Buda]

I used to use my machine to copy pictures.  Now I am thinking I may have to
reload the stuntbox to give auto carriage return and line feed to overcome
the glass rtty operators who:
1. Don't know how to program their software so it sends CR LF at the 73rd
character or;
2. Have software that can't be programmed to accomplish that or;
3. Don't know how to put a piece of tape or an indelible ink mark on their
screen so they hit their enter key at the appropriate place. =20
I operate on the Midwest RTTY net and have notations by the net
participants on a piece of paper whether they are a red button operator.  A
red button operator is someone where I must watch every line they transmit
so I can hit the red CR and LF buttons to avoid the black boxes.
