Phil,

Hello from a newbie greenkeyer.  I can't help much with your question 
because I have no experience (well almost none) yet with computers and tty.

There is a Greenkey mailing list, however, and it has a number of folks who 
will help you, I'm sure.  The mailing list info is:

A very fine web site to start at to fine more info is:
<http://www.rtty.com/>

A museum and web site with more info is at:
<http://www.nadcomm.com/>

And teletype to modern radio interfaces can be seen at:
<http://www.qsl.net/wm2u/interface.html>

Here is my hint at what to focus on:  There is a difference between running 
a radio in FSK mode where the information is fed to the radio as digital 
keying (via RS-232) and running a radio in SSB mode with *audio* input to 
the mike or other audio input line ("AFSK").  Make sure you are not trying 
to do part of each.  I have a TS-940 here but have not yet worked out how I 
can run teletype in either mode.

Hope this helps.

Roy
