[PLUG] Slow Down an ssh Session


In the "good old days", I used a DEC PDP-8 with a hulking noisy teletype.  To relive my youth, I bought a PiDP-8, which is just the front panel of the PDP-8, run by a Raspberry Pi.

The Pi, of course, is waaay faster than the PDP-8, so I set some parameters in the simulator software to slow it down to the speed of an actual PDP-8 from the early 70's.

Since I don't have a real teletype (I actually had one and gave it away years ago.  Ugh!  I wish I kept it!) I'm using an ssh session on an old laptop as a terminal.

But this means the effective terminal baud rate is like warp speed compared to the teletype.

I'd like to mimic the original 110 baud teletype.  Other than actually connecting via 110 baud serial connection, is there a way to throttle the effective baud rate of ssh?

TIA!
