I've forgotten the details, but one of the changes was because some
of Irv's enemies were starting up his machine on autostart and sending
continuous LFs to run all the paper out on to the floor. Auto-CR-LF is
obviously good for radio because if you miss a CR or a LF you lose a
line of print. And if you get a CR without a LF you lose a line of
print. (Altho there were some TTY pictures where being able to overstrike
was essential)
If people using computer-emulated TTY are failing to send proper end of
line characters then you aren't required to be able to receive from them.
An electronic regenerative repeater is always good with a mechanical
Teletype because of the problem of false starts and missing stops that
result in several errored characters.
