	At one time I had some actual audiotape of the UPI FDM-FSK vft
tty mux low speed radio and newspaper wire distribution circuit as it
reached the UPI machine at our college radio station in the late 60s,
but I am not sure I could find it or a 1/4 reel to reel tape machine to
play it.   One of those I haven't looked at it in 40+ years items in a
box somewhere.
