As I was reminded by a friend on here, I should put forth a couple or three 
caveats about these units that I mentioned earlier this afternoon.  First, 
it was an alert for someone that had ALREADY been looking.  If you don't 
know what a terminal unit is, you probably don't want this.  If you won't 
tinker/build, you might not like this.  It does AFSK only, you'd have to 
work to get FSK.  It has NO loop supply for your greenkeys unit, you'd have 
to provide and interface it.  It won't run standalone, it needs DSRTTY from 
Hal (or possibly some other terminal unit software, from the old days, 
likely in DOS format only).  In other words, it is NOT a plug and play, no 
tinkering required, soundcard interface for glass RTTY.  But if this is what 
you have been looking for (like me) at a price that seems reasonable for the 
shape, then I was confirming Bob's statement that they are mint.  My estate 
will consider it junk, but that's their problem, hi hi.
73,
