Rather than expect everyone else to compensate for your equipment's
limitations, why don't you design and build a circuit that counts
incoming characters and inserts a CR/LF after receiving 72. Doing
this with something programmable like a Basic Stamp would be a no-
brainer, but implementing it with relay logic would nicely
complement to your 28s. Some big old stepping relays would be
perfect!
