I recall that someone had dug up an ASR33 truetype

it is, please let me know, I can't find it in the archives.
It's "Teleprinter", I got it from

I contacted the author, Mark Zanzig of Munich, Germany,

Sorry, I got carried away... I created the font using
Fontographer 3.5.2
for Windows which still sits on my shelf waiting for some work. As to the
original fonts, I found an old BASIC tutorial (from 1973) that had program
listings with - guess what? - right, loads of Teletype ASR 33 letters. I
put in hard work and some finetuning... Voila, il-y-a les fonts.
He also welcomed the idea of it becoming a "freeware" font, in terms
of people volunteering to improve it.
