[net.ham-radio] Novice question about receiving RTTY broadcasts

I posted this query to the net about 11 days ago, but I have reason to believe
that it did not make it through.  My apologies if you have seen this before.

I recently purchased an ICOM R71A Communications Receiver.  I am interested in
receiving RTTY broadcasts, but I know nothing  about  what  is  needed  to ac-
complish this.  I also have a Televideo  950  terminal  and  a  Hayes 300 Baud
modem.  Can I use the above equipment to receive RTTY broadcasts?  If so,  how
do I set up this equipment for this purpose?  What other equipment (if any) do
I need?

Thanks for any information,

                                Dennis
