[GreenKeys] Help with getting Teletype 43 online

[Greg Miller]

I'd love to learn more about going the Linux route using a Pi.  It would
feel more like a "direct connection" to the internet than having to keep a
PC running anytime I wanted to use the terminal.  I'm not completely green
with Linux, but I'm no expert and the commands I remember come from my
college days working with Unix in the late 90's.  Can you share how you got
things working in Linux?

Ah, I'd completely forgotten about Heavy Metal!  That will definitely do
for connecting to the PC.

Thanks!
- Greg
