SINCE you asked ....

We use a Kerberized version of Paul Vixie's "rtty" software.  Rtty is now
available on savannah.gnu.org, but I have been busy and haven't had a chance
to put in our Kerberos patches.

As for the actual hardware ... it's some box, with some multi-USB serial port
thingy ... don't recall the details.  We have a couple of them.
