Adjust the instructions for your teletypes baud rate. 

Good luck!

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!

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.

Hello all,

I finally got around to cleaning and getting my model 43 working again, and I have it communicating correctly with my Windows 10 PC via a serial port and PuTTY.  I'd love to be able to use the 43 as a terminal to connect to some BBSes via Telnet, but I can't figure out how to do it. 

My options are to use the Win10 PC, or my Raspberry Pi clone (Libre LePotato).  I think the Pi probably makes more sense, but I'm pretty green with Linux.  I also need to figure out how to get my serial to USB adapter to work with the Pi.

Can you help?

Thanks and 73,
Greg K2GTM
