[ILUG-BOM] Linux and Telex Support

[Philip S Tellis]

Sometime Today, noel seq assembled some asciibets to say:

This is something that I would love to work on.  I don't know if there
is any software that does it yet, but basically, you'd need a telex
driver to attach to your serial port.  Shouldn't be too hard if one knew
what kind of data needs to be sent/read.  Can you find out what kind of
data goes through the serial port for a telex?
