Minetest mod: keypad and keyboard that transmit over digiline, and an interactive terminal.

HybridDog has taken over maintaining this mod
https://github.com/HybridDog/digipad

The digipad allows you to enter a number 1-10 digits, which will be sent down
a digiline.  You can select channels 1-3 with buttons in the formspec. channels
are prefixed with "keypad" so Channel 1 transmits on "keypad1" etc.

The hardened digipad shares the same functions, but has different physical
properties.  It is a full 1m wide, so it can cover a wire channel in a wall
completely.  It also has the same digging properties as a steel block, so some
random noob with a stone pickaxe can't steal it.

The keyboard allows arbitrary strings to be entered.  It sends only on channel "keyb1" right now.

The terminal allows entering strings, and receiving responses.  It's channel prefix is "tty" and the suffix can be set with /channel <suffix>.
Default suffix is "1", making  the channel "tty1".  "/help" will display a help text.

transmitters/receivers - excellent for passworded doors with no traceable
wire.  Just link a digipad to a wireless transmitter, and a receiver to the luacontroller for the door.
