I got one on eBay and have it hooked up to my Altair-Duino as a terminal.

Works really nice.

The paper is standard fax paper.  You can get it at most office supply stores.

But the cable needs ALL the control lines hooked up.  I had to make my own
cable
and loop CTS<->RTS and DTR<->DSR on the 700's side of the cable.
