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

[Nico de Jong]

Hi Folks

It can be done.
I'm presently in the final stages of testing the i-telex part of my gentex 
simulator. This simulator uses a RS232 <> 40 mA (or 60 or 20) currentloop 
converter, and a connection to the i-Telex system.
It uses a standard Windows PC, and runs on anything with a Pentium and a 
speed of 200 MHz or more.
Have not tried on a 486, but there might be a speed issue.
The only special thing, is an extra card with COM ports, because of the 50 
BPS speed. Most PC's dont support that 'speed'

The simulator can be used as a single-user i-telex system, but it also has 
many other features, with some in development, e.g. listening in (and 
decoding) on encrypted messages.
In my test system, I support 8 teletypes of various speeds and character 
sets, as everything, apart from the RS232-currentloop conversion is done in 
software (Delphi 6)
Those interested are welcome to ask for an English manual (which still needs 
to be proof-read and spell-checked).
So, here is the chance to put a 110 BPS machine on the i-telex network, 
without any bother

73, Nico OZ1BMC
