Just posting here in case anyone not on other forums I'm on sees this and
knows something about these.
I picked up a HAL DS-3100 ASR terminal. My understanding is these are RTTY
devices intended for teletype/radio use. It is ASCII compatible and in fact
I can select ASCII and baud rates from a menu. It has a 25 pin male 'MODEM'
port on the back. I can't find it now but somewhere I read it complied with
an RS-232 standard. I tried hooking it up to my PC with a null modem cable,
but couldn't get either to produce anything on their screens.
Anyway, just a shot in the dark in case any of you remember these things.
I'm not really into HAM stuff, but it's a cool little terminal and I was
hoping it could be used/adapted to other tasks.

You have rules out that it is not a current loop terminal?

I'm not sure about that.. I've been trying to find any documentation I can online
about it to understand more about how it works. I got it for $40 in non-working condition
-- turned out it does work. But detailed info seems to be sparse.

HAL Communications are still around AFAIK and the ham world is usually pretty good about
documentation etc.; might be worth sending them an inquiry:
http://www.halcomm.com/
Maybe even try to get in touch with Bill Henry:
