Thanks! I'm just trying to figure out my options. There aren't many teletypes coming up to begin with, and finding something that I'd really like like an ASR-33 might not happen any time soon. The model 28 looks like a serious machine. It feels like something someone would have gotten cheap or free back in the day and found a way to rig up for use with a computer. But maybe not. :)

You'd have to check that, but sure why not? It's just harder to do anything with a machine that's not really made for systems that generally-speaking look for ascii and 8 bit tape to read in programs.
