[GreenKeys] Something I hope to get back to one of these days

[Virgil Bierschwale]

we didn't have a teletype repairman on the ship I was on, so I'm self
taught.
I also didn't want to butcher the wiring, so I pulled out the base and
built me a test bench using it.
basically want to be able to receive text messages from arduinos, raspberry
pi's and print out the error messages that they produce.

my way of showing that the old, and the new, can work together given the
opportunity.
