There are some older PCs, in which the on-board sound-chip is
Soundblaster compatible enough for RITTY. So it is worth trying.
I still have an old (Pentium III) Dell Optiplex GX1 (ca. 2003) with
Win98SE and RITTY runs w/o problems in a DOS-Box using the onboard sound.

Are you sure? I thought RITTY required a true ISA Sound Blaster which
would mean that laptops - or most of the modern PC motherboards are not
suitable. Of course, perhaps someone has an ancient 80286 (AT) or
original Pentium with ISA slots, Soundblaster and MSDOS gathering
dust <G>.

Just a thought - if you can't get it to run in a DOS box, it can be
configured to output to a serial port (IIRC), so it could conceivably be
run on an old $20 Win95/whatever laptop. This way, that laptop would
become a dedicated ordinary hardware modem - don't even bother with its
screen. Install DOS as the primary opsys if necessary. Would need a
serial port in the main computer also, I guess.

Anyone still using Ritty by K6STI in a DOS window?
If so, I'd like to know what kind of operating system you are using
and how it works.
Thanks,
