[GreenKeys] Tales from the crypt. (i-Telex and Linux)

[Jeffrey D Angus]

I have been without internet access at the shop for the past 9 months.
Apparenly I wasted that time and a bunch of money trying to build a
link back to the house using the Linkysys WRT54G routers with the
DD-WRT firmware installed and external antennas.

Thanks to Dale, KB5NFT, for convincing me to buy Ubiquiti stuff.
A pair of Litebeam-M5-23 systems, one at the house and one at the
shop, we have internet at the shop again.

Two things of note here: 1. both the house and the shop are on the
same network. 192.168.1.xxx 2. Also, Microsoft file and printer sharing
works.
And of course, access to "the net" for looking up stuff without having to
drive home, print of stuff in a USB and driving back to the shop. Every 
time.

Having accomplished this, the next step was getting my i-Telex kit up and
running again. Forgetting my password didn't help. I finally figured it out.
Then of course the usual nonsense with dynamic DNS and port forwarding
at the router. wa6fwi.ddns.net port 134 for i-Telex and 80 for the built in
web server.

Of course, the Lorenz Lo-15c decided it's not going to cooperate now.

*SIGH....*

Until I get that fixed, I have an idea for an alternative.
Windows 98 SE, running the HAL Communications DSRTTY software. As it
transmits and receives proper 5 level Baudot code.

A serial to loop converter and away we go.
Win98SE -> DSRTTY -> serial/loop -> call control unit -> i-Telex TW-39 port.

As an aside, does anyone have an idea of I can run on Linux Mint 18 as a
"proper" terminal program running 45 or 50 baud, 5 bit Baudot code?

Always something.
