Steam-powered telegraphy.

"We have built and modified a steam-powered Telex machine and connected it to the new-fangled invention for modern telegraphy known as "the Internet". We will present this steampunkish invention in form of a lecture, thus hoping to enlighten interested ladies and gentlemen on the principles of steam engine physics, 5-bit Baudot encoding, and historic telegraphy in general."

I have a soft spot in my black little heart for anything that combines two technologies that are profoundly not chronologically likely. :)
