What features should I attempt to add to my M28 to best work with today’s
computer RTTYers? Not contesting, just regular QSOs.
Do computer folks tend to send LF-only or CR-only?

Obvious features
    Unshift on space
    Auto CR/LF at end of line.
Not so obvious to me whether
    CR/LF on LF or...CR/LF on CR

Irv Hoff's "mouse machine" 1970 articles show a quick way for implementing
CR on LF but that wouldn't help for people that send CR-only.

A couple of my Navy machines have a stunt box feature that implements CR/LF
on CR and then ignores the next two non-printing characters, so they work
fine whether they receive CR-only or the standard CR-CR-LF
It looks like there is a shift fork for this feature that I am guessing
connects to the zero bar and does something - I need to investigate.

Comments and opinions welcome!

thanks,
Nick
