[GreenKeys] Halloween

[Nick England]

Emulating ITTY-Autostart protocol is eminently reasonable.

Some of us have machines that power up/down in autostart mode so idling
with diddles for minutes between messages would just run the machines
unnecessarily. Constant mark is probably OK. Many (most) TUs have mark-hold
when there is no audio signal.

That Heathkit must be a marginal design. I’m really surprised. Hard to
imagine a proper TU being harmed by being constantly on mark. My Dovetron
has been on 24/7 for at least five or six years. I just turn on computer
audio when I want to print something. Otherwise the loop is in mark-hold.

My zwei pfennigs worth.
