    That's what my "baudotrss" does.  You can follow any RSS
feed.  Or multiple RSS feeds. When a new message appears on any feed,
the Teletype powers up, prints the message, and shuts down.
I've had a tape printer hooked to the Reuters RSS feed
for years now.

    Here's a NWS RSS feed URL:

    Only one bell, though. Three bells means a network problem
with baudotrss.
