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.
