It would take up a lot of space, and probably cost a bit for the parts (i.e. the not economically feasible for the average home part). I don't know where you'd get the teletype printer though. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

There is a company that still uses the Teletypes only becuase they work very very well in the impact form printing business. Basically using them as a hammer printer without the huge cost to purchase them. The hammer printers are virtually the same hardware as some old teletypes. Now, it has been a while since I visited this guy who maintains them for the coupla companies still using them... so I am say this from /dev/ass. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]
