@njvack @b0rk oh, I agree that would probably work! I don't know anyone with a teletype, but I do know that one of my friends uses a pre-ANSI (not vt100 compatible) monochrome IBM terminal connected to their Linux box with only minor issues. Issues are mostly apps that don't use terminfo or termcap and assume an ANSI terminal is in use - they often print escape codes the terminal doesn't understand. Using "screen" as a translator is the easiest workaround.
@kepstin @b0rk hmmmmm looks like you can get a DECWriter for as little as $600 plus shipping
I could spend a lot of money and learn to use `ed`
I cannot think of a worse idea, and yet
