...a teletype over a phone line is more like morse code on a telegraph line (century old technology) than it is like the modern internet.True, I remember using a teletype for weather and news at the radio station I worked for decades ago.

Yes. Same here. The radio station I worked at had a teletype that printed out AP and UP news on a big roll of yellow paper. The announcers would rip off a long chunk of it just before they went into the studio to read the news. I worked as an audio engineer, so I never was on the air.
