    For all of you out there with Baudot teletypes and nothing to talk to,
I've finally released a usable version of "baudotrss".  See

	http://www.aetherltd.com/communicating.html

This prints news feeds and weather.  As a new feature, it can send
and receive SMS (cell phone text messages) for free, using a Google
Voice account.

Requirements:
	- Windows or Linux computer
	- Python 2.6 and three Python modules (download links are provided)
	- A Baudot teletype
	- A serial interface to the Teletype from the computer.

We also have a design for an electrical interface from serial or USB ports
to 60mA current loops here: "http://www.aetherltd.com/connecting.html".
(We don't sell boards; the board design can be downloaded.)
