Also, some programming languages have a setting to export code compatible with just Baudot characters: http://t3x.org/nmhbasic/index.html
So, you could feed it from paper tape and maybe Morse too.
Wait what? There were devices called teletypes in the Victorian era (ending in 1901)? What were they doing?
Of more interest, to myself at least, teleprinters have a long history:
* Early developments (1835–1846)
* Early teleprinters (1849–1897)
