[GreenKeys] Model 19 on ITTY

AL,

Are XR-2211 chips still available?  They make a very simple AFSK 
decoder. It is a 14 pin DIP IC and with a few Rs & Cs will give you an 
AFSK decoder. (you don't need any limiter or selectivity coming off 
ITTY) Then just add an optocoupler to interface with the TTY loop.

If you you manage to get MMTTY to  output to a serial port, don't worry 
about ASCII  conversion. MMTTY will output in 5-bit.

For a serial port, look for an old Win 7 or XP laptop.

Good luck,

Duncan
