[GreenKeys] Looking for a Telex machine

Mon Nov 30 03:41:26 EST 2015

Do you have any technical information: ip numbers, ports, packet 
architecture, etc.. we are very fluent in using avr microcontrollers, 
small embedded linux boards like the BeagleBone Black and Raspberry Pi, 
and we already run a t1000 as a twelex twitter terminal, so something 
can be coocked up quite easy if we know the right protocol.

Me myself build a ascii-art imageprinter using a video camera and a 
raspberry pi even using overprint to get more greytones, all done in a 
few lines of python and bash, using some optos and uln2004 chips to 
drive the telex.
