It's amazing what is possible with the Internet and our "old stuff."  This 
past month or so a bunch of us phone collector nutters have managed to 
interconnect a few of our mechanical phone switches using VoIP, and others 
are gathering up the parts to get theirs on, too.  Pretty neat to pick up a 
station wired into my step switch here and dial a few digits and trunk into 
another guy's switch a few states away...

Why not teletype machines, too?!?
