I use a PC running Linux to drive my teletype; the Linux serial drivers 
can run the UART with 5 bit chars at odd baud rates.
To control my system, I modified the "boa" web
server to also handle the serial port. But I am thinking that  HeavyMetal
might port to Linux without too much trouble, seeing as how it uses 
Perl, which is well supported, even better on Linux
than on Windows I think.
