Not to make anyone feel bad but the only teletypes I remember were the ones my Dad worked on when he was on ship in the Navy!
However, I acutally came on to say thanks for the google search tip. That has already helped me out a ton in 2 hours.
I think my dad used them - I don't remember them though. I do remember he had a bunch of programs on punch cards, and still does - though he has started raiding them to use as note paper.
I also remember he had a ?? 300baud acoustic coupler that he would use to dial his terminal in to the Berkeley game machine so that we could play Adventure and Rogue and Wumpus :D
OK - most of the time he used it to dial in to do work, but many nights he let us play.
