TELEX is a now almost obsolete process of transmitting teletype over telephone lines. From the 40s to the 80s it was a pre-eminent communications method, even though bit/s rates were grotesquely slow compared to modern standards. Later on TELEX was automated by use of punchcards or tape, and even later augmented by computer systems. Ham radio operators still use TELEX in the form of RTTY (radioteletype) and its successor data transmission modes, although the clackety mechanical teletypes have been replaced by teletype through computer soundcards.
WI TELEX and teletype modes were used more often today? Perhaps this would require the butterflying away of data transmission modes greater than 9600 or 14,400 bps dialup, though it's difficult to imagine that computer communications technology would stall at that point. Radioteletype is still used as an auxiliary or even primary intergovernmental and communications method among developing countries. Would the slow growth of high speed internet within the countries preserve the use of TELEX or radioteletype as a viable communcations model?
