[GreenKeys] ITTY to real Teletype

Hello John,

I tried piping this into minimodem following the suggestions using curl that I received before, but it doesn't seem to work. This is what I tried

mpg123 http://internet-tty.net:8000/ITTY -q -s | minimodem rtty -i -a -q --rx-one -R 11025 -f -

There was no output from this command (other than some header information). Am I missing something?

Thanks

Rob
