I've written some simple RTTY stuff for Linux.

If you've got a Linux box with a serial port, you're all set.

The programs I've written are running on my 1995 SLACKWARE version of Linux
which is powering my 1995 Toshiba laptop:

CPU: 37 MHz.
MEM: 40 MB.
HDD: 256 MB.

LINUX O/S crashes in 16 years of running 24 X 7: ZERO.

They also run, without modification, on my 2003 RedHat 3.0 Enterprise
dual 550MHz Pentium III, 2 GB Mem, 18GB disk platform.
