[GreenKeys] iTelex Hardware

[Henning Treumann]

Just  to explain the idea and  philosophy of i-TELEX.
We did not want to build just a teletype to internet interface .
Rather than we wanted a kind of real Telex network hardware emulation which
was a basic means of business communication over here in Europe until the
1990s.
Since most of the teleprinter/teletype collectors do not stop collecting
after they got their first machine we wanted to make the system modular in
order to connect almost as many machines as possible.  Some of us have
around 10 machines connected....
The i-Telex system is actually a real Telex central office / exchange in
shoe box size... with external connections via internet to other
'exchanges'.
Old original Telex numbers can still be used.

For months I've been researching other people's projects (such as the
Aetheric Message Machine or this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/
item?id=8478520) and looking into how I might build and program a Pi (or a
Pi behind an Arduino) to interface my teletypes to modern technology.
Having done the research and looked at parts and what it might take to
program a Pi to do so, I eventually discovered i-Telex by way of a YouTube
video. I've decided to drop the entire Pi idea because, while it would be a
fun and worthy project, I agree with Steve-- it would take a lot of time
and effort  I don't have figuring a lot of things out, especially in
software. I'm personally more interested in getting connected to something
that works than reinventing the wheel. If anyone does decide to go the
route of the Pi, though, I'd be interested in helping build and
troubleshoot an interface. I would just rather not be the main trailblazer
when something already exists that more or less does it all and my time is
limited as is. I did have some fun ideas I wanted to incorporate in my Pi
interface to include some kind of prefix code that one could type in from
the teletype that the Pi would be programmed to intercept and turn into
ACSII or even UTF-8 output, which would make connecting to modern *nix
systems a lot easier when one wants to use a baudot-encoded machine.
