[GreenKeys] Feeding ITTY to the teletype; simulating M33/35 teletypes hooked to computers like in the 70s

[Keelan Lightfoot]

Paul,

I've started work on a similar project, but my idea is to cut out the audio middle man. I've written a server in C that handles communication between multiple TTYs over IP, using a ring buffer clocked at 45.45 baud to allow for semi-realistic garble when more than one person is talking at a time. For hardware, I'm using a Lantronix X-Port, which runs Linux. It has a single ethernet port, a serial port and a couple general purpose IO pins.

I've tweaked the linux kernel on the X-Port to allow me to reduce the baud rate of the serial port to 45.45 baud, I just need to write the client software.

I've got all the bits and pieces accumulated to build a prototype board with a loop keyer, patiently waiting until my interest cycle swings that way again.
