[GreenKeys] A portable Baudot terminal

[Jim Haynes]

Well, you see, I was hoping for something that would be trivially easy to
do.  Just grab this program off the net and run it and you've got Baudot
at the COM port.  If we were still in Windows 98 days or earlier it would
work that way.  While the program is ancient it provides just about
everything you would want for a "glass TTY".  And old laptops with COM
ports are cheap.  Even replacement batteries are cheap the last time I
bought one.  So you could afford to dedicate a laptop to the purpose.

One could, with considerable effort, translate the program into C and make
it run on Linux and Windows.  One could, probably with considerably less
effort, make a partition on the hard drive for FreeDOS and install it,
if one knew exactly what to do.  One can, if you wanna, do what I did
and put it on a bootable floppy, requiring a floppy drive which would
be a bit of a bother.  One can, if he knows how, turn the bootable floppy
into a bootable CD ROM; but I don't know how.
