[GreenKeys] Jack Hart and i-Telex...

[drlegendre .]

i-Telex folks,

I cannot understand why so much purpose-made hardware is required to join
the network. I have to say the startup costs are something I could never
justify in my current financial state, just to join such a small base of
users.

What am I missing? Why is it that this cannot be done with a generic PC and
a standard loop converter such as is used to drive an M15? PC handles the
IP networking, custom PC software talks with the TTY over RS-232 and CL
converter.

How is this not possible?

Best,
Bill
