That's definitely true :-)
Henk, PA8PDP
Thats why you can't buy any. :)
Also some sort of TTY is still used for DEAF people to talk over the phone.
Lesse a bunch of years ago I gave one [asr33] away due to space
and noise in use.
More recently I refused a KSR36 on no space to use or store it.
They are out there though many will likely require basic maintenace
use as is.
Of course a small computer can simulate any as needed.
