[GreenKeys] Vintage Bulletin Board Service

[Greg Miller]

I use an ObiHai OBI200 VoIP interface (cheap on eBay) with Google Voice
service (which is free).  I've had no trouble getting a connection through
the ObiHai device to a dial-up BBS.  I have it working fine via my PC, but
now I'm working on getting my Teletype Model 43 to dial the modem and
connect.  Having some issues with that since the baud rate is so low (300
baud), and the Model 43 only talks 7-bit ASCII.

I also have a pile of modems to pass along to others.  I just need to
verify that they all work.

Good luck and 73,
Greg K2GTM
