Okay guyz - here's your chance to get a late
70's Minicom IV
acoustic-coupled 110Baud data terminal from none other than the the author
of the TTL Cookbook, TV-Typewriter Cookbook, etc.

The device pictured in the auction is not a 110 baud terminal.
It's a 45.5/50 baud TTY device, designed for deaf persons
(is that the current politically correct term?) to communicate
with other TTY-equipped parties via telephone. A quick Google
search reveals new units currently for sale, direct from
Ultratec and from other vendors. Here's the Ultratec listing:

I've seen these in thrift stores for less than $10.
Cheers,
