[GreenKeys] Help with getting Teletype 43 online

[Eric Moore]

I have my 33 connected via a serial adapter to a linux system with a custom
agetty. When you turn on the 33, it asks for a username and password, and
you are on a bash console. It takes some stty tweaking, so if you are not
comfortable with linux this might not be a great option.

You can do that with your pi, or anything with usb or a serial port.

For windows, there is a program called heavy metal for interfacing
teletypes.

I have not used it, but it may let you do what you want.

Otherwise, a wifi serial modem as others have linked is your best bet.
