[GreenKeys] iTelex Hardware

[Christopher Story]

Im building a simple pi interface now, waiting on parts.  The major hangup
with the pi stuff i see is many are receive only, where they take data from
the pi side and print to teletype.. which is cool as a demo, but the
i-telex is a true network..

Anyway my pi code checks an email address and if [TELETYPE] leads the
subject line, it sends it to the printer..

The pi makes such a thing simple to do with Qt C++ or python and its GPIO
pins...
