Siemens T100 Terminal with Paper Tape - Available

[nico de jong]

Hello Dominique
If you send me your e-mail address, I can start with sending you the 
user manual, so you can what the software does
This software has an interface to i-telex.net, so you can use it for 
international chats
It also has a lot of other functions, but it would take too long to list 
it all here
Regards
Nico (OZ1BMC), formerly PTT telegraph operator
